4 ohms , 6 ohms, or 8 ohms???


My Canton 3.2 DL reference speakers sound wonderful.
They are rated up to 600W and the cabinet states  IMPEDANCE 4 TO 8 OHMS
I am considering a new amplifier which actually has one set the resistance at 4 or 6 or 8 ohms. 
I do not understand how to make that decision:
Should I run the speaker cables from new amp to the Cantons as 4 ohms, 6 ohms , or 8 ohms?
I would really appreciate some feedback on this...is there a simple, obvious answer?

The thing about a set of ZEROs is that they can allow you more flexibility.

For example you could run the amp straight into the mid/tweeter section while using the ZEROs for the bass section (assuming that the speaker is bi-wirable).

OTOH you're not going to hurt the amp trying different taps so I would do so. But it does seem as if the 4ohm tap is likely the most appropriate. At any rate, keep your speaker cables short (under 3 feet is a good idea) and make sure the speaker connections are tight.
