If your speakers are measuring 6 ohms or so(which not accurate but close) it means that at the point your voiice coil is the impedance is a 6 ohm load. If it were a 4 ohm load then at rest it might measure around 3 or so. It varies with the cone going in and out. It can go up to 16 and down to 2 depending on the excursion of the voice coil. Where it is at rest is the actual default spot which is the nominal(+ or -) so it is an 8 ohm speaker. The transformer itself has output matching impedances that are supposed to(in theory) match your driver. That is why you try different outputs to see where it sounds best. I usually go by how the bass sounds. Also, try reversing the speaker connections at either the speaker or the amp. But do it to both channels or you will be out of phase with each other. You might also be very surprised at the results.
