OK 2 use different OT taps for 2 sides of 1 amp?


Right now I'm passively biamping my ML prodigy speakers with a pair of ARC VT100s. Its a horizontal setup, so one amp per speaker. Is there any problem with running the ESL panels off the 4 ohm output transformer tap and the cones off the 8 ohm output transformer tap on the same amp? I'm not an engineer, so excuse me if this is a dumb question, but will the gain from each side be the same?

Thanks in advance...

It won't hurt anything, but if the panels and the woofer have the same impedance, the one hooked up to the 8 ohm tap would be getting twice as much power as the 4 ohm tap.
