Speaker Impedance and low watt amp

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I have a 12wpc Leben CS300. I'm saving up for more efficient speakers (Devore most likely) but in the meantime I'd like to run the Leben through my old Acoustic Energy Aesprit 300.

Now the Efficiency is 87.5 dB/W which is fine because I never listen above 70 dB in my tiny listening room anyway.

The Impedance is 8 Ohms with minimum of 6 Ohms. The Leben has a 6 Ohm tap so I want to use that for the speakers instead of 8 Ohms.

Does that make sense? Should I use the 8 Ohm tap? Thanks for your help.
