Does anyone know if this amp will drive 4 Ohm speakers? Thanks

    I would not use it. The owners manual shows only 8 ohms loads. If it does not state the it does a 4 ohm load it most likely won't. 4 ohm loads will stress a amp not made for 4 ohm loads.

    I love how music can brighten up a bad day.

    I have one, and it'll run 4ohm speakers fine. I don't put much faith in the THX logo, but it is THX Ultra certified. One of the requirements is that it is capable of running 4 ohms.

    Thanks for the input. Still trying to make up my mind on this amp or an Acurus A200x3 and running my rears with my receiver.

    Get the Acurus. Very nice sounding amp.
