RE: And, speaker/amp matching...

My experience is that this doesn't seem to matter very much. One amp I had sounded best on the 8 ohm tap regardless of the speaker impedance. Another one seems to work better on the 4 ohm tap for one speaker even though that speaker doesn't drop below 6 ohms. That same amp works best at 8 ohms on a similar speaker and 8 ohms on my horns.

When I had Acoustats, despite dropping to 2 ohms in the bass and 2 ohms in the highs, the 8 ohm tap sounded always the best with that speaker regardless of the amp.

Go figure. Matchin is a great place to start but I would advocate simply trying an listening to determine the right tap.
