Harman kardon citation 12 with AR9 LS speakers :Ohms question.

[Rocky1313]

I have a Harman Kardon Citation 12 Amp ..(8 ohms ) and I would like to pair this amp with
AR 9LS speakers which are 4 ohms will this work ?
Thanks

The Owners manual available from Hifiengine shows fuse sizes for a 4Ω speaker so it seems it would be safe to use the amp with a 4Ω load.

AR9 is a 4 ohm nominal load, but this drops as low as 2.7 ohms, a la AR3a.
