RE: Help me pick SET monoblocks

Both the transformer and the tube are very important. You can spend a lot of money on a pair of traansformers, but if you use them in conjunction with a tube that isn't super linear (IE that makes excessive THD on its own), then you've made quite a compromise.

For your situation, just setting the amp up for 4 Ohm operation will work nicely with what you're trying to do. (Just be sure you don't end up with OT's that have 4, 8, and 16 Ohm taps on a single winding)
