That's what I do..
I have the earlier RX-V757...It's set at 8 ohms even though my centre is 4 ohms..
I just balance the LCR to all read 75dB..
Never had any problems, and I play it LOUD!!
Take care! You do not get necessarily get more power by doing that. The RX-V2700 has the juice to deliver more power into 4 ohm when set to 8 ohm, but the RX-V2500 does indeed produce less power (both channels driven) when a 4 ohm speaker is connected instead of an 8 ohm. So, It is likely to have more power when setting the amp at 6 ohm.

I bet the 757 should be the same as the 2500 (but that's for stereo), as far as you are talking about a single (centre) speaker, it should be fine.
