In Reply to: Generally speaking, ST-140s don't like 4 ohm speakers. Just a heads up. posted by Opus 33 1/3 on October 7, 2020 at 15:31:32:
......VanAlstine's Mos-Fet 150 was a 75wpc amp, very tolerant of low impedance loads. When B&K squeezed 100wpc out of the circuit they gave up that low impedance current capability and, arguably, made it a much worse amp for playing music with real speakers.
