Best Speaker Impedence for Tube Amplifiers


I have read conflicting information regarding the best speaker nominal impedence match for tube amplifiers. I know the actual impedence can vary, but all things being equal does a tube amp have an easier time driving a 6 ohm or 8 ohm speaker? For this question, assume speaker sensitivity is about the same.

And it is worth trying the different taps on your tube amp to see what works best in your system. My bi-wired Von Schweikert VR-4 Gen IIs are 7 ohm nominal impdeance. But since the bass module is 4 ohm, the speakers sounded much better out of my Rogue Stereo 90's 4 ohm tap.
