As for the ohms/resistance thing, manufacturers design their receivers/

That may be either 4~8ohms or 8~16ohms. I haven't seen a model that
can drive 4~16ohms - yet - but I'm sure there are a couple out
there.
Actually, once you leave the world of multichannel receivers where as
much as possible is packed on to one small chassis and power supply,
it is common to have amplifiers (not AVRs) which are completely stable
and competent with loads from 4 - 16 ohms.
