Ref 110 using both 4 and 8 ohm taps?


I am using my Ref 110 with new B&W 805D's and read in a Ref 110 review that you can use the 8 ohm tap for the highs and the 4 ohm tap for the lows as my speakers are biwired. Anyone ever tried this? This may sound like a stupid question, but I always assumed you cannot use both taps at once.
This won't damage or confuse the amp in some way?
My 805D's have a nominal 8 ohm rating and an impedance drop to 4.7 ohms in the bass region around 200 htz, so thought it may make sense and give the amp a tigter grip on the bass region. I won't pretend to have a strong knowledge in this area, so if anyone has any input or first hand knowledge, it would be very appreciated.

Thank you sir! I'm Very glad I asked before I gave it a try.
I am so very pleased with the ARC Ref 110. It is exactly the sound I was hoping for and so far it doesn't feel like my ARC LS17 is holding it back either, though I know it can be bettered with a Ref 3 or a new LS27. I am anxious to see what the post break in period brings...
