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.

HI, 
Some tube amps behave better on 8ohm taps. As your speakers demand a little push the 4ohm tap would propably be better but you wouldn't know till you have tried.
