4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker?

HI, 
Some tube amps behave better on 8ohm taps. As your speakers demand a little push the 4ohm tap would propably be better but you wouldn't know till you have tried.

Thanks for everyone's input! Much appreciated!

Originally I had placed the speakers on the 8 ohm taps as recommended by the person who sold the pair to me...he had a tube stereo power amp. After listening to my setup at home on my Dynaco MK 3's I was never really satisfied. Is it possible that the bass was less than satisfactory and the highs were shrill? I still enjoyed listening to the speakers though and I did try positioning them slightly differently but left it that way until now. 

Today I moved the speakers to the 4 ohm tap and listening to the same music the bass was way way more full and the highs were less shrill...is that possible? I feel that is what I heard (my hearing isn't what it used to be). I do honestly think the music is better on the 4 ohm tap and I am sure I heard distortion when on the 8 ohm tap. My audio source was from a Bluesound Node 2i playing music from Tidal. 

I feel definitely more satisfied now and nothing blew up LOL.

As others have said, try it and see what you like best.  My experience is similar to yours.  I have Harbeth Super HL5 Plus and with some recordings, they sounded a little hot on the top end, or as you put it, "shrill".  I knew they shouldn't sound like that and switching to the 4 ohm taps on my Rogue M-180 monoblocks did the trick of taming that, while not losing any of the luscious mid-range.  I use four subwoofers, so wasn't looking to gain anything in the bass department, but I did end up turning the volume down a little on the subs after making the change.

Very interesting, that's exactly what I experienced. I am trying to listen again like I did when I was a teenager. I really like the midrange from the Thiel's as I really enjoy female voice and jazz. Listening to the beautiful soundtrack from Philip Glass "Tales from the Loop". 

On a side note, Harbeth and Rogue Audio equipment are definitely on my wish list...but I am very happy for the time being though with the budget I have.

Wishing you all a great Sunday and week ahead!

Bill: 80% of the sound of a conventional tube amp is the quality and configuration of the output transformer... in essence you switched transformers and in essence amplifier so a change in sound makes sense.
