Driving 805s with Mac's 2ohm output


Hi gurus,

Was wondering if anyone here tried driving their b&w 805s with mac power amp in 2ohms?? I tried playing with all 3 tabs (2, 4, 8ohms) and prefer the 2 ohms. But concern if it will cause damage to the speaker?

Appreciate some kind advice from gurus here. Thank you.

Btw, my system as follows;
B&W 805S
Mac 6900 Int Amp
Esoteric X-05
acrolink 8n-2080 xlr ic
oyaide p4030/046 connectors all round
alamak

No damage. It's like driving your car in low gear all the time. The engine won't stall, but you won't go very fast.
