...between your output tubes and your Maggies? Put the Maggies on the 4x taps, your V4's are now looking at an even 16 ohm load, instead of 4 ohms. 1/4th the current demand; WAY easier on the power tubes. Doubles the damping factor of your V4's as well. DOH!! You lose a few watts. Big deal. You will hear the improvement, and your power tubes will thank you! Even with my hulking SS monoblocs, I still hear a worthwhile improvement in the treble with the 2x taps. But with tube amps, the improvement is 'more than subtle'. Wouldn't be without 'em.
