You may want to check your speaker specs and select the tap close to the minimal value of the speaker impedance curve. Impedance is generally spec'd at a nominal value but the impedance of all speakers varies with frequency. For example, I use the 4 ohm taps to drive nominally 8 ohm speakers that dip to a little over 3 ohms. .
