Why not? it's better than collecting dust and providing homes for crawly things like my old audio stuff is in the basement .
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

DB, welcome. Any competently designed modern receiver(certainly including your 2310)can "work with" the M80s, which are relatively easy to drive. The question with it or any other amplifier would be how loud and how long it can power the speakers, since just about any unit can be forced to shut down if stressed too hard for too long.
The reason that the Denons and other comparable receivers aren't officially rated for 4 ohm loads is that the UL(Underwriters Laboratory)tests for overheating and the power rating tests required by FTC(Federal Trade Commission)regulations are quite lengthy. For example, the FTC regs would require being driven at the full rated power into 4 ohms for at least five continuous minutes. These receivers can't do that without overheating and shutting down, but they're fine in the less severe situations which they nearly always face in real world use for home audio.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I'm having trouble understanding the Denon manual. This line just screams "welcome to the club", so I'll add "Welcome to the forum"! You should be fine with the Denon, they have a reputation for doing well with 4 ohm speakers, and not doing so well with articulately-written manuals!

On a side note, how do you like the 2310?
I am trying to buy a 1910 locally but they are backordered it seems, so I may be "forced" to go with the 2310

I ran my M80s with a Denon 1804 and had no problems, I would be very surprised if the 2310 couldn't handle them as well. Just remember if you are trying to play LOUD for long periods and/or in a large to very large space, the M80s will strain the Denon(any avr for that matter) and a seperate amp might be needed to run the M80s efficiently.
