In reply to:
Are you sure the Denon can drive a 4 Ohm load, cause look at this:
Right on the back of the 3803 is states: 6-16 ohms for speaker impedance. In other words, it would be safe with an 8 ohm speaker, and 6 ohms would be pushing it.
That's not what it means. Those are merely the maximum rated wattages for the two respective speaker sizes and VERY few speakers actually run 4 ohms so it's often not spec'ed in press literature. Running a 4 ohm load simply results in a higher power output. So long as the receiver has good circuitry and heat dissipation, you're golden. The 3803 is spectacular in this regard.
They don't spec my 4802 at 4 ohms either but it's blaring away as I speak.
