It's not resistance, it is impedance. It is far more complex than you may imanage. If you took a meter and ran it across your binding posts of your speakers, you would see what is know as the DC resistance of the speaker. The impedance is the AC resistance, and cannot be measured with a meter. It is complex, so it has to be given in phase, and magnitude. An impedance analyzer could do that...Audio 101 for the day...
yes, your speakers will work JUST fine on the 5400. It may run a little warm, but I SERIOUSLY doubt you will hurt it. It have run harder loads on lesser amps with great sucuess. Just make sure you do not close in your reciever on all sides, it may want to breathe.
Happy listening!!!
