AV Receiver that deals with 6ohm speakers

im fancying a pair of monitor audio RX6 speakers 6ohms for a home theatre im building downstairs... now i get to choose an amp and i cant find one that deals with anything below 8ohms..
i liked the NAD T748 and i wrote crutchfield and they said the NAD will only deal with 8ohms period unless i want to upgrade to an external amp to power the speakers.... that is an option im considering but i dont have the money "right now " to deal with....
any other receivers worthy of 2 Channel Audio also that deal w/ 6ohm speakers?

While the guys at Crutchfield may be well informed, I find it hard to believe that your NAD can't handle a 6ohm load. Try it out at medium to higher volumes and monitor it. If the protection circuitry doesn't engage and the receiver does not get too hot, I think you are in the clear until you get the $$$ for an amp if you must.
