I'm building a Mission Amps 5E3. It is going in a cab featuring two 8 ohm speakers. The output transformer does have a 4 ohm tap, but I heard it said somewhere that you get better tone if you use all of the output winding (8 ohm lead).
How much difference in tone would there be between the two?
If there is a noticeable difference, would a viable alternative be to wire an 8 ohm speaker motor (less cone) in series with each speaker, then wiring the speakers in parallel, so that the OT sees an 8 ohm load?
Thanks in advance.
