I am just curious how the wiring is in the Mac. I'd probably try it both ways.
That is clearly a 4 ohm speaker and the 4 ohm tap should be used. Never believe what a loudspeaker manufacturer says the impedance is. They lie through their teeth. The impedance curve clearly shows this speake'rs honest rating is 4 ohms.
The Macs use Auto transformers and setting the tap correctly is important as otherwise they will not deliver the stated power.
I really dislike this system. I much prefer direct coupled output stages. Those Mac amps are well down the list of any amp I would want to own.
The reason for it is simple. Mac customers have very expensive speakers. If protection should fail and blow an expensive set of speakers, then there will be no DC offset as a transformer can not pass DC. So those amps can not put Mac on the hook for an exotic expensive set of speakers.
The MAC BS sales pitch says it is to perfectly match the amp to the load. However loudspeaker impedance curves and phase angles are all of the map, like the speaker in question. So this is total BS and those of us who have been around the block know the real reason full well.
So those Mac amps do not match real world loads as well as well designed direct coupled amps.
