No. 4 or 8 are the common specs, but the spec is for the minimum load
impedance, so ann amp specced at 8 ohms *may* have trouble with a 6 ohm
load on peaks, but a 4 ohm output won't have any problem at all..

And 16 doesn't matter - if your amp will do the lower ones, it'll be
just fine with a lesser load (= higher Z).

So you're saying that I can safely hook up speakers with a 4ohm sticker on the back to my 8-16ohm receiver, but not a 6ohm. Clear as mud to me, but I'll trust you on this.


Clearly "clear as mud".

NO. You should not hook up a speaker with a lower Z than your amp is
specified to drive. Higher Zs are no problem.
