I will try the 8 ohm tap next and report back with my findings, although unless I am mistaken the Elipsas do drop all the way to 2.4 ohms in the lower frequencies....

Elipsa generally do very well with neutral sounding SS amps that can deliver gobs of current and power although it is not mandatory due to their generous sensitivity. Krell, Bryston, McIntosh and some others are combinations I have heard over the years as well as experimented with when I had Elipsa in my own system.
