Looking to Update Receiver for New Speakers

I'm New! First post and I appreciate any help.

I recently stumbled upon a good deal for a set of Aperion Audio Intimus 6t speakers that I'm considering purchasing. These have an impedance of 6ohms. I'm currently using a Pioneer VSX-453 receiver that has an output of 100wpc at an 8ohms. Not the highest quality receiver but it's met my needs thus far. Can I use the Pioneer with the Aperions at all? I'd be open to upgrading and have been considering doing so for a while now. Budget is pretty tight at $200 or less so used is of course no issue. Any recommendations for receivers or amps rated at 6ohms that are easy to come by? Mostly used for movies and listening to vinyl: rock, folk, blues, some jazz.

Thanks,

From the measurements section of the Stereophile review:
The loudspeaker's impedance ranges between 4 and 6 ohms over most of the audioband, with a combination of 5 ohms and –45° electrical phase angle at 75Hz, meaning that a good 4 ohm–rated amplifier or receiver should be used with the Aperions.

The Pioneer may work okay, but it is rated for 8 ohms and up.
