I just purchased some M60s, QS8s and a VP150 and just realized that the 60s are rated at 8ohms but the others at 6ohm. I'm using a Pioneer VSX-1014TX-K receiver to drive them and it states it can handle both 8ohm and 6ohm loads but from my understanding it's an all-or-nothing proposition (there's only one switch).

From reading posts here (and other places) it seems unlikely that I'll damage the receiver regardless of the setting, but I'd still like to know what would be best: Is it better to set the receiver to 8ohms or 6ohms? Or does it really matter?
