no problem all that would happen is that you wold transfer a little less power from the amp to the loudspeaker than you would if you were a connecting it to an 8 ohm tap. Generally I find that if you have a multi impedance output transformer (which is a design compromise to begin with)you will get the best sound quality it you connect your loudspeaker no matter the impedance to the highest impedance tap because in this way you will load the full output winding of the transformer.If you connect to a lower impedance tap you will then leave some portion of the secondary winding un loaded and free to resonate.
