Shahinian Oblisk

I have just purchased a McIntosh Tube Amp 2102 and Tube PreAmp 2200. The amp gives a choice of connecting my Shahinian Oblisk speakers to different OHM speaker settings.
1. Can someone please explain how the OHM effects the speakers.
2. Should I choose a higher or lower OHM setting for the Shahinian speakers.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Rcprince,

Yes, you are correct. The McIntosh amp has a choice of ohms level for connecting the speakers. I will go with your suggestion and use the 4 ohm terminals.
Can you explain what effect the a 2, 4, or 8 impedence has on the speakers? Does it have any influence on the reproduction of sound from your speakers? This is new to me. My old amp, a Bedini MK100 did not give me this choice. So I am hoping you can explain this to a novice like me. Thanks in advance.
