Mike Wolfe is right - it's what sounds better that counts......

In Reply to: 8 ohms into 4 ohms posted by cj3 on January 5, 2009 at 21:30:05:

Normally speakers with nominal 4 ohm impedence have dips below 4 ohms and benefit from the use of the 4 ohm taps. Using those taps can improve the bass performance. The trade off is that the sound in the mids and highs can benefit from use of the 8ohm tap. In both cases the operative term is 'can', not 'will'.

Try both, listen to both carefully, and pick that which sounds best to you in your system.
