I have experimented with the 8 ohm tap during the last few days. Initially I, too, was surprised. The sound with my Elipsas seemed a little more open and dynamic. A little more forward. But it was *not* night and day. But quickly enough I realized that highs were harsher, more "in your face", the midrange was not as sweet and full-bodied, and the bass was unmistakably looser and not as controlled. The latter was the more evident difference. The rest were more subtle differences. Based on the input from other folks, and the impedance curve of the Elipsas, none of the above is actually surprising.
Back to the 4 ohm tap I went, but it's certainly great to have these many options!
