A search for impedance curves for the Polk Monitors came up blank. The Marantz speakers have had the tweeters and woofers replaced with Parts Express items long ago, no charts for them.
The Marantz are rated as 8 ohms, the Polk Monitors are "compatible with 8 ohm outputs", whatever that means.
Would 2 ohm resistors on each set of speakers work? That way it would seem the output loss would be balanced and still raise the impedance to a safe level.

Probably, but the speaker builders hang out on the tech board on the parts express site. Maybe post your dilemma on that board and see what suggestions they might have. I still think you would be fine if both pairs of speakers were true 8-ohms. Speaker systems with a nominal rated impedance of higher than 8-ohms are rare indeed, and if Denon had really not wanted you to run two pair of 8-ohm speakers at once, they would have set up the switching differently.
The board you need to pose your question on is here.

just cut and paste to that board. They deal with impedance issues regularly, as the nominal impedance is crucial in DIY designs.
Thanks. I have registered and will pursue things there.
