Should I use Impedance 4 or 8?

Maybe someone out in Audiogon land can definitively answer a basic impedance question for me.I own Klipsch Lascalas paired to a Raven Audio Blackhawk. Obviously they are rated as 8 ohm and the Raven provides both 4 and 8 ohm taps. The impedance tests on Lascalas show the impedance going very low at certain frequencies. (Like 3 at some frequencies) I've tried the 4 ohm taps which does squeeze a tad of hum out of the tunes but it seemed flatter and duller.Any advice? Will I damage my amp? Why the downgrade in dynamics at 4 ohms?

Any chance you contacted Raven Audio to just see what they say ??

I have had Raven Audio since 2019 and have been a very happy customer with them responding to every question I have asked..

Hope you enjoy the Black Hawk , I started with that for month then ended up with Osprey for 5 years now have Reflection with Corvus Speakers and luv the sound.
