Conflicting impedance specs for Definitive Technology Demand D9 speakers


Looking at DefTech's website, they list nominal impedance at 4 ohms.  The included manual from DefTech states that they are "compatible with 8 ohm outputs."  All of the retailers that list specs for these speakers (Best Buy and Crutchfield) list nominal impedance at 8 ohms.

I have my pair running through my Marantz NR1200 and the default impedance on the amp is set at 8 ohms.  I'm admittedly a novice when it comes to some of these matters, but I'm just wondering what effect I'd see if I switched my receiver to 4 ohms impedance instead of the default 8.  Thanks for your help!

Sounds good to me!  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to burn my apartment complex down because I flipped a switch in my amp.  ;)
