Stereo Tube Valve

What is the best ohms for a guitar cab, mono or stereo...?

I want to get a guitar cab with Celestion G-12 K-100 but couldn't find any that had them stock on GC or Musicians Friend. I decided to go with Avatar Cabs. In case you're not familiar with Avatar they are kind of like Dell when it comes to cabs. You get to customize and then they ship it to you. You can choose the cab style, speakers, ohms, mono or stereo, and even the color. I know I want to get the contemporary cab with K-100 speakers but I don't know whether to get 4, 8, or 16 ohms and whether to get mono or stereo. What is the best combination of those for getting the best tone and the most power? I plan on running a 100 watt Spider Valve head with 4 6L6 tubes in it so it needs it to be able to handle that with out blowing up or something. Here's the Avatar website btw.

That guitar amp supports 4, 8 and 16 ohm cabinet speaker. To get the maximum sound out of these K-100 will depend on your cofiguratin. These speakers are 8 ohm speakers.

Having said that, if you want a 4-speaker cabinet, they will wire 2 K-100 in serie, and then wire 2 K-100 to those 2 speakers in parallel. This combination will give you a 4-speaker cabinet totalling 8 ohm. This means that if you get 2 of these cabinets, and you hook them to your Amp, you will drop to 4 ohm which is the maximum. You will get the maximum power divided in 2 cabinets.

You can get one cabinet of 4 ohm by wiring 2 K-100 in serie which give 16 ohm, and wiring another in parallel dropping it to 8 ohm, and finally another in parallel dropping it to 4 ohm
Thus, that means you will end up with 1 cabinet of 4 ohm. That is the maximum you can put on that head.

I suggest the two 8ohm cabinet because the sound will be divided and offer mover coverage in a hall, and super clean and able to handle the full output without distortion, rather than using one 4ohm cabinet which will tend to distort at high volume.
