PowerStage 100 Stereo Help

I am looking to buy the PS 100S as part of a live/studio setup, but I've got a question regarding the impedances and power output:
In the Owner's Manual, regarding maximum power output, it gives the following figures;
  • 4Ω load: 120W @ 1% THD+N, 1kHz
  • 4Ω load: 150W @ 10% THD+N, 1kHz
  • 8Ω load: 60W @ 1% THD+N, 1kHz
Does the load listed refer to either
A) The load for each channel on the amplifier (I'd be okay connecting a cabinet with a 70 W 8 Ω speaker to each of the left and the right outputs),
or B) The total impedance load of the speakers on the amplifier (I'd need to buy a cab that can handle up to 150 W a side, given the total load is 4Ω when 2 8Ω speakers are run in parallel.)

Any answer you could give would be greatly appreciated.​
 
right, those are per channel specs. the two channels are independent. while its good to have speakers with more power handling than the amp can put out, there is a volume control so if you have more amp than speaker, just dont turn it up too much. you can usually hear when you are pushing the speaker too hard
