Brochure mentions nominal impedance of LC60i at 4 ohms. This is a 4 ohm speaker, procluding the use of many amps? If using a Denon 1905 rated at 6ohm min. should TC60i be used instead?

    Welcome to the forum, I would say you would want to stick to the min. ohm rating for the receiver. A four ohm load would more than likely present an issue for the denon, what part of Tn. are you located?
