The Transcendent amps tend to have low output Z, probably can handle the 4-ohm load OK. Give it a try. Using a resistor in series with the ribbon results in a Pyrrhic victory, because the resistor itself sucks up power and would color the sound as well. If necessary, a transformer or autoformer, e.g., the Zeros, is a better way to go, IMO. Zeros at 2X are VERY transparent and give you an 8-ohm load in this case.
