Mcintosh 7270, impedance with Martin Logan Request.

Picked up McIntosh, MC 7270. Impedance of ML Request, 4.0 ohms. However, several people including the previous owner. Have suggested to use the 2.0, ohm, out. For those experience with McIntosh, and electrostatics. Any suggestions?

Actually, try all three; 8, 4, and 2. The main difference is the output impedance/damping factor and the results will depend on your set up. I have found my Aerious i sounds best using the 8 ohm tap on my MC2200. The 4 ohm tap was very close but rendered a narrower soundstage.
