Thanks as always for the review Amir!
Additionally, when the center drops to 3.4 ohms of resistance how does that affect an AVR or Integrated Amp that has a factory rating of 6 ohms as being the lowest certified rating. Would prolonged exposure to repeated dips to such a low resistance damage anything or can most equipment handle this dip in resistance with no long-term ills? After reading various opinions on this matter I need some clarification because there is a lot of conflicting information out there on the web.

dont shoot the messenger
this is how i use this 6 or 8 ohm switch behind the amplifier, i always use 8 ohm setting, no matter what speakers i use (only watch out that amplifier does not get extremely hot, and even then: protection would trigger if it really overheats, i've seen none of that happening, amplifier barely gets warm, but i have 2 ch. amp)
i read it somewhere that, that switch is only to meet regulations mostly and is not anything sophisticated,
lower 6 or 4 ohm setting will limit amplifier output wattage - by limiting the amplifier input power: probably amperege, so if you use world's most power hungriest speakers and max the vol. amp can only operate maybe ~75% of power and not overheat or something.
most speakers are not that demanding, so 8 ohm (or highest) setting would at least make the amplifier have its full power reserve.
More powerful amps do not have this switch, oh darn you had AVR so.. lots of channels., maybe that would be better reason to use this switch,
but still something to ponder about...
