How dangerous it is to run the 4 ohm maggies on the 6> setting rather than the 4 ohm setting? I like the idea of 270 watts vs. 151.
As with any speaker you would run into heat issues if you did. 150watts at 4ohms that should be plenty of power. I dont think running a 4ohm speaker like the Maggies in 6ohm mode is a good idea as they are a tough speaker to drive at the best of times.
