Marantz 2270 and 6 ohm speakers?

[marmaduke]

Can I run 6 ohm speakers off of my Marantz 2270 receiver? I am assuming that 8 ohm speakers are the speakers that are normally run off this receiver.
What about 4 ohm speakers (if I ever look at them)?

Thanks

Yes, a 4 ohm load is absolutely fine for all the Marantz receivers. The same goes for 6, of course.

There were two versions of the 2270 during my days selling it. The first put out more power into a 4 ohm load. The second, with "Superscope" on the back plate put out less power.

This might not even cause a problem but it caused my buddy Jim to ruin a set of speakers.

There was never a 2270 released with superscope on the back plate.

I beg to differ

There was never a 2270 released with superscope on the back plate.

Yes there was as one of my cousins had one marked Superscope on the backside and at the same time as I had the Regular Marantz 2270 both were bought the same year:scratch2:

Were you selling them too in the 1974-5 time frame???
