Tube amps and speaker impedances

I'd like to get the experts' take on the issue of speakers that are rated at 12 Ohms impedance when used with a conventional push/pull tube amp.
Since my amplifier has only 8 and 4 Ohm speaker taps, I would assume that I would continue to use the 8 Ohm outputs, but will the 12 Ohm speaker introduce any negative effects that would give me a reason to not consider it. I am thinking about the Zu Druid for use with a Quicksilver MS-190.
Thanks for your help.
