I have a 2020, and getting it serviced right now. Just got MMGs and though I have a big amp, the Perreaux 3150, I'm saving for a preamp. Can I use the Yamaha safely with the MMGs? I don't see a 4ohm rating, so I wanted to check.
In my space right now an all in one amp solution with phono is very attractive.

You can use your Yamaha CR-2020 with 4 ohm speakers.

While you are saving for a preamp get yourself an Apple Airport Express (~$50 on Craigslist) and use it to wirelsssly stream Spotify or iTunes from your iPhone or iPad. The Airport makes an amazing "preamp" when used this way. Run the analog output of the Airport straight into your Perreaux.

Use the 2020 as the pre-amp until you can get a new pre-amp.
