Can it handle two 4x10 cabinets???

[Ric5]

to the OP: it will not only work with two 8 ohm 4x10 cabs, it'll work better, i.e. it'll be louder and sound fuller. IMO, anyone that says otherwise doesn't understand how amps and speakers operate, and it doesn't matter if the watts are tube or solid state.

+1 ... I am glad to see an intelligent answer, Thanks John.

What causes an amp to clip?

turning the amp too loud, not the speaker cabinet.

The truth is soo simple and the myth is soo complex!

I use an Ampeg B3 head sometimes. It has 200 watts for 4 ohms and 120 watts for 8 ohms. It clips sooner running into the 8 ohm load because I have to turn the volume up more.

Cheese 'N rice, this thread really has gone the long way 'round, hasn't it. If the OP is capable of seeing through all the muck, the answers are all there. You have a 200 watt amp, and 8 10's to blast it through. The speakers "handle" the amps power, not the other way. A 200 watt amp does NOT have the same amount of clean headroom a 600 watt amp does, and that's gonna be the biggest difference. Otherwise, you should be fine.

Not if you use these. All the analog synth players are using them these days:

Unfortunately if they are using patches with triangle waves coming from the oscillators they have to stack them with these:

Pulse width modulated waveforms are still a problem though.

C'mon, dude. You know that issue was solved many moons ago, ironically just in time for the widespread use of heavy synth in a phenomena widely refered to as " '80's pop music ".
