Hey everyone, quick question,
I have a 65 Amps London cab with an 8 ohm Celestion Blue and an 8 ohm G12H. They're wired in series for a total of 16 ohms.
However, I have another EL84 head that I'm dying to try with the 65 cab, but it only has an 8 ohm and a 4 ohm tap.
Here's my question: if I rewire the cab in parallel for a total 4 ohm load, will there seriously be a tonal difference? I've heard yes and no on this back and forth for years, and I'm wondering if anyone can give a definitive answer. Does parallel wiring sound different than series wiring? Does 4 ohms sound different than 16 ohms?
In my limited knowledge, I would think the difference would be quite subtle. But, much thanks to anyone in advance who can help me out a bit!!
