4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker?

I have a pair of Thiel CS2’s that have a nominal impedance of 6 ohms. My mono blocks have output impedance connections for 4, 8 or 16 ohm speakers. Is it best to connect the speakers to the 4 ohm or 8 ohm connections? 
Thanks for your thoughts.

8 ohm has taps have worked much better for me than 4 ohm taps when driving 6 ohm speakers-  and it wasn't even close. 
but this is just a reference point- you really need to test carefully.
