[MPA] speaker impedance (OT)

[David Crandon]

While this probably isn't the best mailing list to ask this question, I
can offer a little advice.

Although Yamaha recommends nothing less than 6 ohms, I wouldn't worry
about it unless you drive the amp close to clipping, and even then,
today's amps should have good enough protection circuits to keep the amp
from damaging itself.
