If you use a 32 ohm speaker on a 16 ohm tap, it can reduce the power output from the amplifier to 25% of the rated value. If they are very efficient speakers, this may not matter. Also, if the speakers are connected in series, their impedances will have the potential to interact with each other and create anomalies in the frequency response, if they don't have exactly the same characteristics. (i.e. if one of the speakers has a higher resonant frequency than another)
