One more thing about the 4 ohm cabinets. I'm not knocking them; they serve a purpose and are fine. I'm just ensuring you know that you do recognize better coverage potential sticking with the 8 ohm cabs.

For example:

4 - 8 ohm cabs: 2 ohm load on amp.
2 - 8 ohm cabs: 4 ohm load on amp.
2 - 4 ohm cabs: 2 ohm load on amp.

There are other variations of the above set-ups, however, just make certain you know what your amp can handle. You don't want to burn an amp up by using the wrong speaker configuration. And, obviously, the room size, with or without FOH support, will determine which set-up will best meet your needs in the end.

Again, either the WT-405 or WT-550 will handle a load down to 2 ohms with no problem.
