4 Ohm Load


I've got a Pioneer SX-636 receiver at my office that I listen to every day. I've been curious how it would sound if I brought it home for a night to hook up to my Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Concert Grands. The VA's are 4 ohm and my only concern is that the receiver may not enjoy trying to push that load. Anyone have an idea if this is no big deal or smoke waiting to happen? There's a good reason why I'm curious to try this but I won't bore you with that.
Thanks,
Mike

One of my first rigs was a 125 watt Pioneer receiver and a pair of JBL L65 Jubals.

I wonder if I would be impressed by this matchup today?

I realize a lot of people gravitate to systems like this.

My source was a Dual 1219 and a Grado cartridge.

I never regretted selling the gear and moving on to Ls3/5a's and Dynaco tube gear and LP12 table FR cartridge.

To my ears it was so much better than the Pioneer/JBL.

Perhaps it was just the source upgrade that made all the difference.
