Just be careful
I used to run a Marantz SR4200 into 4 ohm speakers even though it stated 6 ohm min impedance. I was told by my dealer "just be careful"! No problems there. As far as I know (and I'm happy for anyone here to correct me if I'm wrong) the lower impedance is just a higher risk of drawing too much current from your amp. But not cranking the volume should avoid that.
