Are you sure that such setting gives more current (as it would with a transformer) or, simply, more protection for the AVR (as by introducing a protective resistor)? Both are known to be but I do not know what your AVR does.

Integra 50.1 Speaker Setting Question
I have found a setting option on my Integra 50.1 receiver that allows me to set the speakers to either 6 ohms or 4 ohms. Any idea what this changes in the amplifier and if there is any advantage to one setting or the other?
My Focal 836v speakers are rated for a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, but have a minimum impdance of about 3 ohms. Is there any reason to not set the receiver to 4 ohms and give it every available option for high current capacity?
