None are. All are made for 8ohms but many will accommodate 4ohm
speakers as well.
And really, this just isn't something to get excited about. Speakers
aren't really "4 Ohms" or "8 Ohms" or whatever, but are a very, very
complicated load, and an amplifier must to designed to deal with the
real world of real loudspeakers with complex impedances and some
motor characteristics. But folks have had many decades to get a
handle on this, and competance doesn't cost much these days.
Don't worry about this (totally BS, anyway) number. Worry about
HDMI compliance, or something else really interesting.
All the best fortune,
