Speaker Resistance

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I have a chance to pickup a set of Audes Blues at a great price, though I am running a Marantz SR-5400 at the moment. Now I know the 90 watts is no problem, but I think the Blues are a nominal 4 ohm speaker and the Marantz states a minimum of 6 ohms on the back panel speakers connection. Can I get away with a 4 ohm nominal impedance? I really can't upgrade the reciever and get the Blues at the same time.
