The Harman/Kardon receiver manual has nothing to say about speaker impedance but the back panel has "8 ohms" stamped on the area above the speaker terminals. That made me wonder. But there have been no ill effects, the amp doesn't run hot and has never shut down. I don't think you should have any problems with 6-ohm speakers. Keep in mind that this is a "nominal" rating. Impedance varies with frequency.
