can it power 4 ohm speakers?

Sure. It's in the provided specs. My main speakers are nominal 8 ohm, but dip down to 4. No problem. I've a friend with 4 ohm speakers and we tried the wadia on those, and no problems there either.

I have been running it with dynaudio X16 (4ohms) with zero problem.. they sound sweetest!!!

It depends based on your speakers. If they're very hard to be drove, you need to consider other AMP for them.

Yes, its amplifier is capable of providing you with a 50Wpc in a 4 Ohms impedance speaker. I installed it with Paradigm Studio 40 v2, 8 Ohms speakers, though.

I'm using mine with 6ohm (84db Sensitivity) Apogee Centaurs and it sounds amazing. I would think that your setup should be fine depending on the sensitivity of your speakers.

Hello NebTheWeb, This receiver is capable of driving 6 ohms speakers. I use a set of Totem Dreamcatcher (4 ohms) and the receiver is behaving great.

This unit is built for output impedance 4-8 Ohm. By using 2 Ohm speakers you are risking to burn unit amplifier; this is not really high end equipment.This unit has RCA output and option to attach an amplifier; that would be better way to go.

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

Yes the MB42X are 4-8ohm speakers but most 8 ohm receivers can power a pair of these so you're fine

The manual specifies 6 ohm or higher. Mine are 8 ohm and work well with this amplifier. I don't know how well 4 ohm speakers would work.

what is the true ohm load at 4ohms and would it really push 4- 15 pa speakers with power to spare?

No I have not, but if it's a 4ohm rated amp I wonder if there will be adequate power to sufficiently power them (depending on your needs), as these are 8 ohm speakers.

correct, you can connect up to 4 ohms, but you have to be aware with your .saludos speakers rms.

Amp will drive 4 ohm speaker at 300 watts. Will drive 8 ohm speaker at 150 watts.

Yes, it will provide up to 1100 watts at 4 ohms bridged safely. I am driving a 4 ohm subwoofer for home theater purposes. Note that in this configuration you are only providing a single channel of audio, not stereo.

If you have a 70w at 4 ohms minimum, this puts out 500 at 4 ohms. It will have no problem driving your current speakers.

Yes it will work fine. If anything going up in ohm ratings is easier and safer than going down. You are taking a 6 ohm rating and going up to 8 which uses less power to drive the speaker. If you were trying to go from 8 ohm rating on the receiver and drive a 4 ohm speaker I might say look out you could cause your amp to switch off from overheating or tripping a fuse. You will be fine and if anything you'll have a little bit more presence from your middle channel now and maybe adjust it down a tad in your setup if it's too much.

Yes and the neat thing is if you have paralle conectors on your speakers you can run one cable from the pa to a speaker then, connect the two with another speaker cable to make a 4 ohm load back at the pa. or just plug the two speaker cables out the back and one to each speaker and run in 8 ohms. I have done both with much success.

you can only hook up 4 speakers to this stereo, ch a left and right, and ch b left and right and a sub woofer, make sure the speakers are 8 ohms

This receiver is capable to handle speakers from 4 ohms to 8 ohms, if your speakers are in this range there should be no problem at all.

yes they can, but you need to be aware of the Impedance. if you daisy chain 2) 8 ohm speakers you get 16 ohms if you parallel them you get 4 ohms
