I have a pair of TFA 204 Magnequest output transformers that I would like to use in a SE EL84 amp. The primary is normally 3K but I would like to connect the 4 ohm taps to 8 ohm speakers and use them for my amp. What undesired effects will this have on the sound? There is always a tradeoff. I think the bandwidth may be narrowed but I'm not sure. Any advice is appreciated.
