I would echo the response you got on the planar asylum.
Use the 8 ohm tap with Zero Autotransformers at the 3X tap.
The Zero's help because Maggies are known to need current
to sound their best and with the stepdown you are getting
more current available at each volume/voltage setting.
They prefer a ~3 ohm tap minimum and
in the above configuration you would get a 2.67 ohm tap.
You could try the 4X tap for grins.
