I know that Joe @ Axiom isn't a fan of "any" receiver running the 80s. It's more of a...

Seperates=80s
Receiver =60s

...kind of equation.

Though he doesn't deny that some receivers can "handle" the 80s because they're an easier than average 4 ohm load. He just doesn't recommend it to people.

My receiver actually has a switch for 4 ohms...and still I'm not sure if he'd recommend it. So it sounds like there's mixed opinions in the Axiom camp.
