The most efficient operation occurs when source and load are matched. A variation in load (in either direction) probably makes little difference to the tranny as far as wear and tear goes.

Where I was going with that Arjay, I thought it was easier on a 4 ohm OT to run an 8 ohm speaker than the recommended 4 ohm speaker. I could be wrong on that.

Yes, little bit wrong :lol:

Efficiency = ease of operation (basic amp karma)

Yes, efficiency is what impedance matching for a tube amp is all about, nothing more. No harm to amp or tranny with a mismatched impedance.
