4 or 8 ohm with Harbeth

The specs for a Harbeth Compact 7es3 state that it is a 6 ohm load. On a tube amp should I use the 4 or 8 ohm tap?

My thought in posting this question is to get input from those directly familiar with Harbeth and tube amps with 4 and 8 ohm taps. BTW all my current system- amp, cd player, speakers, turntable, phono preamp, and subwoofer has been purchased from dealers.
