I say that. We are talking about real sound events at a real load in the real world. Idealized assumptions are not appropriate here and the protection circuits are also not designed to work properly outside the AVR spec - this guarantees a deterioration of the MTBF! An inquiry to the manufacturer Denon recently confirmed the following to me:Who said anything about volrage drop?
Dear Mr. xxx,
thank you for contacting us.
As you can see from the technical data, we recommend connecting speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 ohms for most devices, and 4 to 16 ohms for some models such as the Avr-X4800H. Any type of speaker with this nominal impedance can be used without hesitation.
The nominal impedance is the specification of the resistance at rest. During operation and with increasing volume, the actual impedance can deviate greatly from the nominal impedance. In addition, the impedance is frequency dependent. The impedance can then assume values significantly below the nominal impedance to below 1 Ohm. With the variety of models offered and the most diverse properties, we can therefore not make a generally binding recommendation. Since a low impedance means an increased power output and thus a higher heating of the amplifier, a critical operating condition can be reached, which could mean a defect in the amplifier or the speakers.
Therefore, make sure that the minimum impedance (in the entire frequency spectrum) should generally not fall below a value of 3.2 ohms.
With current AV receivers, you can change the impedance of the connected speakers using a key combination described in the operating instructions. If you select 4 ohms here, the amplifier limits the available power to prevent overloads.
So in your case, the Nubert nuLine 34 speakers are not recommended. --> Here are the speaker measurements including EPDR: Link
