6 ohm speakers with 4/8 ohm amplifier


Question: if my integrated amplifier has 4 and 8 ohm speaker connectors and my Harbeth's are rated 6 ohm - is it best to connect the Harbeth's to the 4 ohm connectors on my amplifier?

It's about damping factor. The 4 ohm tap will increase the damping factor, most speakers are designed for this, better control over the woofer. However, you may not like it so as suggested try them both and see what you prefer.
