Nominal Impedence and Amp Taps


My speakers spec sheet mentions a 4ohm nominal Impedence. My amps have 2/4/8 ohm taps, does this mean the best amp tap to use is 4ohms?

Ive always wondered this.

Hi Justlisten Duntech may be able to give some advise when you mention the name of your amps. I have a Anthem amp1 that has 4,8, and 16ohm settings. My spkrs are Meadowlark Kestrals that are 8ohm. When I tried the 4ohm tap the spkrs didn't sound right at all. I also called Meadowlark and they told me the 8ohm tap would be the best. Also since you put new tubes in your probably won't have a clue untill the tubes settle down. Best of luck
