JRT 8 ohm operation

[Gordy G]

Is it ok to run the JRT with a single 8 ohm speaker?
Also does it lower the output wattage using an 8 ohm speaker in comparison to a 16 ohm speaker?.
Does anyone know if Orange manufacture a 16 ohm 12" Voice of the World speaker?
Thanks.

You checked the manual?

Yeah, run a single 8 ohm speaker from the 8 ohm output. Use proper speaker cable.

No it won't lower the output wattage. Unlike solid state amps valve amps will put out their full rated power into any impedance they are designed to handle. (If correctly impedance matched anyway - the output transformer allows correct matching.)

There'll be four of those 16 ohm speakers in the Crush Pro 4x12, but I don't know if Orange would supply them separately. You could always ask nicely...
