4 ohm tap vs 8 ohm tap

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure there were no issues before I started running them like that for an extended period of time. I tried the 4ohm tap and I felt I liked it beeter that way.
Thanks again. Scott

Well, I can definatly notice a difference. I just got these speakers about a week and a half ago. When I first hooked them up I forgot to change from 4 to 6 ohm because my Thiels are 4 ohm. I liked the speakers right away.
After I noticed that I forgot to change to the 8 ohm tap, I quickly changed the amps to the 8 ohm tap.
After a few LP's I began to not hear the bass. So after you all confirmed that I would not damage anything, I switched back to the 4 ohm tao. The bass is back.
You need all the help you can get with the Shearwaters. They are not bass heavey at all.
Thanks, Scott

Morbius, I think you will find this amusing
I have spoke to a good work friend who is an electrical engineer. He has been in this profession for over 25 years.
I was telling him about the discussion on the CABLE forum of breaking in power cords. I almost had to call a code red to get him medical attention, because he couldn't stop laughing so hard.
How anal is this crap?

Makes me wonder about the Proacs that I sold because I was unhappy with them. Wonder how they would have sounded with the 4 ohm tap.
