Fellow Tori V owners - I could really use your input on output tap selection. I'm running Pure Audio Project Quintet speakers (8 ohm nominal) and currently have them on the 3.5 ohm taps. I made this choice based on my previous experience with a Willsenton R8, where the 4 ohm taps clearly outperformed the 8 ohm taps with these same speakers.
Here's what I'm wrestling with: I never really gave the 8 ohm taps a fair shake on the Tori V - just assumed the lower impedance tap would be better again. Now I'm second-guessing myself.
What I'd love to know from you:
Which taps are you currently using with your speakers? What's your speaker's nominal impedance vs. the tap you chose? Did you actually A/B test different taps, or go with conventional wisdom? What sonic differences did you hear between taps?
The "match impedances" rule seems straightforward, but we all know real-world speaker impedances vary wildly with frequency. I'm wondering if I'm missing out on better sound by not experimenting more.
Thanks for sharing your experiences - looking forward to hearing what's worked for you!
