After listening for a few days I have found the same thing, on my Mcintosh 501’s the 8 ohm tap sounds better, smoother, than my 4 ohm tap with my CS6.
I never would have guessed with the impedance staying below 4 ohms throughout the frequency range, I am assuming the CS6’s negative phase angle helps the low impendace load. It is above my head, I just know what I hear.
