Onkyo TXSR-600, 4 ohm speakers

Hi there,
I ordered an Onkyo TXSR-600 receiver and some Polk speakers (4 RTi28's, 1 CSi30, and 1 PSW250). The speakers are 4 ohm speakers according to the owners manual, and Onkyo's web site (http://www.onkyousa.com/newprod.cfm) lists this:
80 W/Chx6 into 8 ohm(20Hz-20kHz)
105 W/Chx6 into 6 ohm(20Hz-20kHz)
I realize I only have a 5.1 setup (I don't plan on hooking up a rear center yet) but the 2 power outputs are listing 6 and 8 ohm outputs whereas the speaker is 4 ohm. I don't have the receiver yet (special ordered, apparently they're hard to come by as they are so new) but I'm wondering if there will be any problems/damage to the speakers or amplifier due to the lower impedance. Can anyone help me out or direct me somewhere that I can figure out what might happen? Thanks.

The Polk web site lists the RTi28 speakers as "Nominal 8 ohm impedance", and the CSi30 as "Nominal 8 ohm impedance"... when you download the PDF manual is says it is "Compatible with 8 ohm outputs"... However, the back of the actual printed manual for each of these products lists themselves as a "Nominal 4 ohm impedance." I tried calling Polk, and they weren't open today (Sunday) so I'll try calling again tomorrow, but does anyone else here have any more information than I about this?
so you should be alright, go ahead and hook them up and injoy.
and wecome to the polk forum, grathol
