At moderate volume level, in terms of getting better sound quality which impedance speaker should we buy ?
6 Ohms
8 Ohms
Which one ?
6 Ohms
8 Ohms

Sunder,
I would interpret it as 8 Ohm nominal impedance and 4 Ohm min.

Amp claims 70W at 8 ohm and 100W at 4 ohms. This means at max power rating it can momentarily source 8.75A when the load 8 ohms and a whopping 25A when the load is 4 ohms.
feels like i am back to school with paper-pen, after reading this post.Raghu, that is a very good post, thank you.
I need a clarification here, the formula for current (ampere) is sqrt(watt/resistance), so for 70w, 8ohm, the required power will be sqrt(70/8) = 2.95A and for 100w, 4ohms, it'll be sqrt(100/4) = 5. You skipping the sqrt for simplification?

Please be specific, what was it, that could confuse a brilliant academic mind? We're eager to know...I guess I must have been drunk when I did these calculations and wrote about

8 ohms are easier on the amp. Because of the current required from amp's PSAre 8 Ohms speakers easier to drive OR 4 Ohms? Shouldn't speakers with less Impedance easier to drive?
Almost all Component System vendors speakers rated at 8 Ohms while almost all mass market cheap HTiB speakers are rated 4 Ohms.
8 ohms are easier on the amp. Because of the current required from amp's PS
I = V/R (Ohm's law at its simplest)
Higher current capability means better PS and more expensive.
