I've got an extra pair of Infinity Qb's that I don't need. My neighbor wants to buy them, but he would be powering them with an inexpensive modern Onkyo HT receiver that does not explicitly support 4 ohm speakers. Would running a single pair of Qb's, on a receiver rated for 8 ohm speakers cause any problem? He tends to listen pretty loud as the evening progresses, if you know what I mean. I would rather not sell them to him if the mis-match is going to cause damage to either the receiver or speakers.
BTW, there is a pair of Infinity Reference 5s for sale locally for a decent price. Would the 8 ohm, floor standing Reference 5 be a better option for him as they are an 8 ohm speaker? Any idea how they should compared to the Qb's?
