AV receiver for 4 ohm speakers?


I'm ready to upgrade my AV receiver to handle 6.1 channel sound, but I'm concerned about some posts I've read complaining that many of the "mid-level" 6.1 receivers don't handle 4 ohm speakers very well (the Onkyo TX797 comes immediately to mind). I'm using NHT 2.3As in the front, which are 4 ohm. The rest of my speakers are all 8 ohm (1.3As and SuperZeros). Anyone out there have any suggestions? I'd thought that maybe something like a Marantz SR8200 would work well . . . I'd like something that I can get new for under $2K.

Integra, (the beefed up Onkyo) has a setup menu where you can select 4 or 8 ohms. I run the DTR 7.2 and love it. All the features of Onkyo with better performance. I highly recommend this receiver. I run all NHT and a friend of mine has the DTR 5.2 with NHT 2.3's and it runs with ease. Good luck.
