What vintage receivers handle 4 Ohm speakers?

Geoff, how would you control volume from a tape monitor out? Just using the receiver tuner into an integrated I could see but into a power amp would not be a good idea.

Your right, there's no volume control out of a tape monitor. The good thing though is that the output signal is the cleanest possible, as it bypasses all of the receiver's control circuitry. I send the signal into my integrated amp. The amp uses a high(er) quality ALPS volume control, and and also has a remote. Something you don't get with vintage gear. Best of both worlds!
