Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers

I've been looking at buying one of the new Panasonic XR digital receivers (SA-XR50 or SA-XR70), but the XR50 specifies 6-16 ohms. Anyone tried using one of these (or the older XR45) with a 4 ohm speaker?

I've got some GMA Europas on order, and was hoping to mate them with one of the new Panasonic receivers. Any reason not to?

My room is only 12 x 19, I listen mostly to 2 channel, and mostly listen at low to moderate levels. Definitely want to be able to crank it up every now and then, though. Thanks for any help.

SACD does not output a digital signal. You will need to use analog outputs from the Philips for your SACD playback, but for CD and DVD continue to use the digital out.

Streetdaddy, what is your source component and what type of signal are you feeding the Panasonic? SFC modes cannot be used with Dolby Digital, DTS or high sample rate signals.

Hi,
I am sending the signal from my philips 963 sacd/cd player thru the digital input{coax} to the panny. Maybe i need to turn off the upsampler?

Yes, please explain what it is about this $399 Panasonic receiver that is so special that most of you are integtrating it into a mega thousand dollar system. $800 power cords? Dynaudio speakers? B&W 801's??? C'mon, am I missing something here?
