Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

4 ohms vs. 8 ohms

I am thinking about buying a pair of PSB bookshelf speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms.

The amp I want to use to drive them has an impedance switch on the back: 4 ohms or 8 ohms.

Which setting would you choose?

Sorry if this seems dumb -- I have been reading posts about impedance here and elsewhere and I don't really get it.

Thanks.
