It makes sense to try the lower tap first, but there definitely have been cases of particular combinations of amp and speaker where the tap a little over the nominal impedance sounds better. Of course, if you ever look at some measurements, nominal impedance can be a pretty fuzzy term.
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?
