Yes, absolutely! Nothing to worry about here. Your stereo will drive any speaker of 4 ohms or higher just fine, unless you demand that your music be super loud.
I'm doubtful that the stereo has a 6 ohm rating. I've never seen one spec'd. that way. Usually the lower limit is 3 or 4 ohms.
Also, you do not "match impedances" with loudspeakers. Normally, the speaker is 4 to 8 ohms and the amp's output impedance is roughly 0.1 ohms.

If I remember what my exboyfriend used to say correctly then the answer is yes. It just means you will never have to worry about blowing the speakers since they can handle more than your stereo

Impedence is matched for optimal power transfer. You will do no harm connecting higher impedence spkrs than is optimal, but performance will be reduced (You may have to turn the volume higher than you would ordinarily)

I don't think so unless you do it in a manner to make the resistance match up - or you'll blow the speakers or the amp.
