I was checking out some Axioms.

and
Elite 94TX
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...tailsComponent
The heavy duty speakers (VP150, M80, QS8) all say 4 or 6 ohms. If a Pioneer 94TX reciever lists 140watts @ 8 ohms, what would happen if you hooked up these 4 or 6 ohms speakers? Would it not play as loud or efficient?
Also, some speakers say 6 ohms (compatible with 8 ohms AVRs). Whats this mean for the above AVR? Does that mean it'll work, just not play as loud?
So whats the best way to go? Stick with the right ohms, in this case 8 with the 94TX? Or select biggest speakers, and ohms that do not match? (I think I know the answer here). Just wanted to see if I was missing anything...
