Best McIntosh Tap for Dynaudio Confid 5 Speakers


Does anyone use Dynaudio speakers with a Mac MC402. I use the 4 ohm tap and it sounds good but I read where the 2 ohm tap would sound better because the speaker goes below 4 ohms.

Looking at the speaker spec they seem to go from 8 to 3.5 ohms.

Can someone help?

Hello,
To eliminate any impedance mismatch 2ohm would be the better tap to use with your mac..

regards,
You should try every tap on a tube amp to determine which sounds the best to you. Sometimes the best tap is not the one you would think is the best. I have 4, 8, and 16 ohm taps on my amp and whenever I get a new speaker I experiment with all the taps to see which I prefer. It is different with different types of speakers.
I agree with Tpreaves. I have a MC402 as well and I use the 4 ohm but my speakers are 4 ohm. I tried the 8 ohm at one time but didn't notice any difference, I haven't tried the 2 ohm yet. But everything is system dependant what works for someone may not work for you. Move some wire and listen.
Why don't you A/B them then choose what YOU like best. You will not damage the speakers unless you abuse them. Just my opinion,humble as it may be.
Are you worried about damage from the 2 ohm tap? It seems that trying the two options would be the way to go otherwise.
