Speakers for a HK AVR25 II

[Bam!]

Aloha all, I have a HK AVR25 II rated 75 W both channels driven into 87 Ohms and/or 100 W both channels driven into 4 Ohms.
My primary goal is to listen to rock music, occasionally in cranked-up mode, a nice high volume.
Would I be better off with 75 W @ 8 Ohms or 100 W @ 4 Ohms?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Theoretically, a capable amp’s 4-ohm power rating should be close to double its 8-ohmn spec. The fact that the 4-ohm rating is only 34% higher tells me the amp probably should not be given 4-ohm speakers. So, I’d go with 8-ohm speakers.
