using 6ohm speakers on an 8ohm system should be fine.

but it depends on the speakers and the amp.

some 6ohm speakers may dip down to 4 or less at some
point.
but most of the time are around 6 so they are
rated at 6.

while others may go to 6 at some point so they
are rated at 6. but most of the time are higher.

some amplifiers can take a low impedance dip now and then while others can't.

so it depends on your particular equipment.

if you really want to be sure contact the manufacturer.
