Hi Mr. Peabody,

Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure why anyone would say that the RX-2500 can drive 4 or 2 ohm speakers when it clearly states 6 or 8 ohm only in the manual. It's not meant for that. I thought you were saying that Yamaha as a whole doesn't make anything that will drive them. They do make a nice component amp that is meant for these loads. It may not be as good as some of the units you are used to, but it can get the job done. Sorry for my misunderstanding.
