Older Polk Speakers... w/ new Denon surround sound amp: impediance match question

I have some nice older Polk Audio speakers
2 each Monitor Series 2, M5 90126219..they set on pedastals..so I assume front speakers
2 each Monitor Series 2, M3 9027827
1 each center channel POLK CS100 speaker
my Denon amp is AVR1312... it states that speaker impdiance of speakers shoudl be 6-16 ohms
With my meter, these polk speakers seem to be more like 4 ohms.
Can this setup work. Any suggestions welcome

You can't measure the nominal impedance of a speaker from the binding posts.
The specs show your Monitor 5 is 8 ohms. I'm sure the others are too.

I assume by meter you mean you measured resistance with an Ohm meter. Impedance, without using equations which you can look up, is the sum of resistance, capacitance reactance and inductive reactance. Impedance will change with the frequency of the applied signal. Resistance doesn't change with frequency.
Good question.
