Tube amp driving speakers w/ unstable impedance

Posted by mondial (A) on August 2, 2016 at 23:07:09

Hi guys ,

What happens when tube amps are use to drive speakers w/ unstable impedance . I know that tube amps have output impedance ( 4 , 8 , 16 ohms )and you choose the impedance that sound best . Whatever the output impedance that one chooses the power output are more or less the same . So what happens w/ regards to sonics if tube amps are used for speakers w/ unstable impedance in different frequencies. Will the tube amp have flabby bass? , Smeared mids , rolled of highs ? Will the tube amp be dynamic or slow ?
Will high powered tube amps have the same problem driving speakers w/ unstable impedance ?

Thanks in advance,

Mondial

16 ohms is the key to getting all amps to sound smoother and more detailed - Ralph 09:20:21 08/03/16 (13)

Sounds like ESLs to me - Ralph 13:18:37 08/04/16 (4)

No speakers have a flat impedance curve - Frihed89 23:31:40 08/02/16 (1)
