4 ohm speakers too much for old school receiver?

Hey Tarheel you down in Chapel Hill?

I would not blast them at loud levels...and if you find it getting hot, I would turn it off. You might be better off getting some 8 ohms to take full advantage of what the reciever can do. There is a dealer over off Glenwood down the street from Target on Lynn that sells used gear. Its right next door to another audio store that sells Brand new audio. I forget the name of the stores. You might find a good deal on some used speakers. He deals with a lot of Quad gear. Check him out. HE even takes trade ins.

Thanks for the tip...i live an hour from CH....used to work around those parts...i'll try to locate the dealer. Leaning toward a 8 ohm speaker now, but dang the Silver I's look nice and i heard the Image line years ago and loved their signature. Since it's local I figure i can demo them in their house.

I use to live in Raleigh Durham but now live in St. Louis. There is also two Audio shops on Glenwood that sell trade-in. Audio Advice and Audio Video Excellence. You might want to try both of them for their used gear. But they mainly sell new stuff.

I think the store off of Glenwood is called Advanced Audio...check all of them out...some god stuff.
