I think what Grainger is trying to say is that the power is the constant at each of the impedance settings.  The 4 Ohm tap gives 3.5 Watts into 4 Ohms, the 8 Ohm tap gives 3.5 Watts into 8 Ohms, etc.

When you use a 16 Ohm speaker on the 4 Ohm tap, you get less power out (hence your need for for cranking up the level a bit), but with that decrease in power comes a lower noise floor and a higher damping factor.

Hello all,

I have one more question :

1.  Can I use my Stereomour with only one of my Alter 604E speakers connected to one of the channels for some time ; or is this not a good idea ? 

I have not finished building the second speaker cabinet.  And I do not have the time to finish it during christmas.

There Stereomour won't be bothered by one unloaded channel, go for it!
