That's the idea but the fact is that an 8 ohm speaker has a varying impedance across the frequency spectrum so the outcome is not always predictable. When I tried the different taps - 2, 4, and 8 ohm, with my 2Cis - biwired to a single tap, I could hear an audible difference mostly in the size and shape of the soundstage with the 8 ohm giving the widest and deepest. l'll try the multi-tap scenario soon, just dragging my feet to cut/break the nicely soldered connections.
McIntosh MC 601 Using two taps at the same Time
Has anyone use two taps at the same time 4ohms and 8ohms taps on a Mac amp? I usually use a biwire for my Vandersteen 2CE Sig II but I would like to separate the biwire as in, tap the lows on the 8ohms tap and tap the highs on the 4ohms tap to get a little more low end (bass). According to McIntosh, since Mac uses the autoformer, you can use two taps at the same time.
