What amplifier class is the AXR85/100?

The AXR85 and AXR100 use class AB amplification. More information about amplifier classification can be found 

here.

 

Can I use 4 or 6 Ohm speakers with the AXR85/100?

The AXR is only rated to be used with 8 Ohm speakers and we would not recommend using it with 4 or 6 Ohm speakers.
Using the AXR with 4 or 6 Ohm speakers could result in the amplifier overheating, which in the long run could damage the unit.
