OK, I don't know why I was unclear on your setup, it was obviously stated in clear terms.
You would have a problem even with a 2ohm tap as the amp will not produce as much output at that load and may have a FR droop there, unless the amp is designed with bigger output trannies, which I don't think it is. Having a 2ohm tap does not guarantee the ability of the amp to deliver its full power to the load. Can you use KT120 tubes? They produce a more present top end and more current at low loads..
Another thing you can try is to add a 1-1.5 ohm resistor to the ribbon impedance to ease the load and try it with both the 2 ohm and the 4 ohm taps. I had to do that with my Dyna III's.
