Just picked-up a new tube amp and it has both 4 and 8 ohm terminals. Since the SDA-1Cs are rated at 6 ohms, just wondering which one would be the proper/better choice? Thanks!

    Try 'em both, see which one works better.

    My money is on the 4-ohm tap, but what do I know?

    I would say 4 ohms because this is nominal impedance. The impedance will drop below 6 most of the time so go 4 ohms for the most stability.
