"25 watts at 6 ohms" means nothing. What are the bandwidth/distortion figures? Or aren't they even quoted in the specs? In general, minisystem specs are sketchy and highly imaginative. I'm surprised the speakers even had a sensitivity spec. At any rate, you're trying to do something a minisystem really isn't designed to do, which is drive a set of speakers other than the ones included. I recommend you give that up.
Your observations about watts and impedance are normal. Almost all amps will deliver more power into lower resistance.
