Hi,
I have a 5 watt valve head for my Guitar that I recently bought, and am saving up to buy a good speaker. For now, I want to try it out, but all I have is the 6 inch speaker from my old Laney solid state combo. I measured the resistance across the two terminals of the speaker, and it read 4.7 ohms. Is this ok to plug into the 4 ohm tap of my amp, or should I use the 8 ohm tap, or neither?
I know that its generally not a good idea to have a higher impedance speaker than the socket, and it might kill the OT, but seem as it is 0.7 volts, I have no idea.
Thanks in advance!
Billy
