Worst that could happen?
I have an old Heathkit 20 watt mono tube amp that I love.
What is the worst that would happen if I wired both of my Martin Logan Ascent i's to the 4 ohm output? Isn't that the same as running one of them off of the 8 ohm hook up? What is the worst that could happen? Damage to amp or speakers? Thanks, Dominick

So now what is the worst that could happen? Thanks, Dominick

If the two speakers are identical, wire them in series and use the 8 ohm output.
