Not sure where you get that the PIONEER is rated to 4 ohms. B&O might rate their ice amps to 4 ohm but that is for their systems and power supplies, the SC is still only RATED to 6 ohms regardless of the use of ice amp modules. That's not to say that they won't drive a 4 ohm load as evidenced by your and many others use of the SC series.

D'oh! John beat me to it and much more informative as usual.
