803S with MC 352- 4 Ohm Taps?

[Dmm53]

I have a pair of 803S biwired to a MAC 352. I am using a pair of Catcables. I've read some posts on other forums about B&W speakers sounding "Better" in the 4 ohm taps than the 8 ohm taps on the Mac.

Is there a sonic benefit and is it safe to try?

Yes - set it to the 4 ohm tap and forget about it!

The 4ohm tap will give your 803S more current. I noticed the tweeters were more detailed and the bass to hit slightly harder when i set my MC205 on the 4Ohm taps.

Yes, 803S dips down to 3.0 ohm. So the 4 ohm taps would be a better fit. However, you have to turn the volume 3db up from your usual listening volume.
