8 Ohm Output into 4 Ohm Speakers

I was wondering if running my ROGUE CRONUS MAGNUM integrated amp into a 4ohm rated speaker would cause any damage?

Thanks.

By cutting the impedance in half at the output, you are also cutting the load that the power tubes see in half as well. If you drive the amplifier hard, that will result in shorter tube life.
