Digital multi meter?
I do know it's not that simple. Output transformer is not the same as measuring a resistor.

In any case I don't see any problem using an 8ohm cabinet with that amp, I'm sure it can tolerate the mismatch without any issues.
The mismatches aren't a big deal, the real problem with tube amps are intermittent loads like a faulty jack vibrating and not making proper contact, a speaker cable with soldering issues or continuity problems and so on.
Thanks, that's pretty much what I have come to understand thanks to my conversations w/ you & Dawson...I'm afraid I don't 100% know... The current DSL series were started while I was still there but I'm sure the design was changed after I left. It's got a ECC82 push pull output and probably it has a solid state phase inverter but that doesn't matter.

What tone are you looking for? Modern or vintage? Or something else entirely? Lots o choices...
Ok that helps! If you are into 70s arshall tones and blues go with some Greenbacks...either 10” or 12”. I have a JMP1h but I assumingthe DSL does the classic tones. Greenies are a key part of that.
I emailed Marshall about using an 8ohm cab with it, they specifically stated to not do this. They said it could damage the amp.I'm afraid I don't 100% know...

Not mine but a cool 1 watt setup. Especially for a studio.
What's everyone's take on the DSL1CR Speaker? that owns one just noseying between one of those an the head an a cab of some description
