RE: ROGUE CRONUS MAGNUM KT120 INTEGRATED

It's a tube amplifier with different taps for 8-ohm speakers and 4-ohm speakers. Wouldn't a tube amplifier have a damping factor of one? I thought they used transformers to match the amplifier's output impedance to a speaker's impedance in order to deliver maximum power. If this is the case, its damping factor into 8-ohns from the 8-ohm tap would be one, and from the 4-ohm tap it would be two. Damping factor is speaker impedance divided by amplifier output impedance.
