4Ohm amp 8Ohm cab

Is there any way of playing my Trace V6 4Ohm over my Barefaced Midget 8Ohm?
I was considering selling the V6 and eden 4Ohm 4x10 but after A/Bing it against my GenzBenzShuttle6 and BarefacedMidget I dropped the idea.

The V6/Eden was just so much warmer than the Genz/Midget.
I would like to hear the V6 over Barefaced but the V6 is 4 or 2Ohm switchable and the Midget is 8 Ohm :-(
Any ideas?
I could buy a compact; 8 and 8 = 4 but it also = skint!

Cheers,

Phil.

Opinion is divided on this amp according to google, some people say running at 4ohms with an 8 ohm cab will be fine using the rule of thumb of a 100% so upto 8 and down to 2 in the 4 ohm position, flick it to 2 ohms though for smoke and flames!

Just checked back through the hallowed annals of Basschat. It shouldn't blow the amp up, but if used over a long period of time will shorten the life of the valves.
