So I have clean it up.

You can run the ZERO on a 4 ohm woofer, and run the speaker direct with an 8 ohm mid/tweeter section, which can work quite well.

Some speakers are set up to what we call the Voltage Standard, so they have 4 ohm woofers and 8 ohm mid/tweeter sections. A good example is the B&W 802. As long as the speaker is bi-wireable, you can easily run the ZERO for just the woofer section, and this will work fine with a tube amp, especially something like the M-60.

I had not read one of the previous posts through and responded incorrectly initially. I hope this clears up the issue- any questions let me know.

BTW the other standard that competes with the Voltage Standard is the Power Standard. These are usually speakers that are designed with tube amps in mind. You'll be hearing more about this from me later...
