First of all, if the receiver can't reliably drive 6 ohms, I'm not sure
you'd wanna look at it. That's usually an indication of very weak power
supplies and amplification stages.

So you do not recommend a receiver who only drives 8 Ohm speakers...I'm
right?

Not necessarily. If the unit is adequate for the speakers attached
and you do not have plans to change them with this particular
receiver, then an 8ohm-only receiver is OK. What the lack of a 4ohm
rating or application indicates is an inability to deliver power into
a lower impedance load usually as a result of cheaper power supplies
and output stages. Simply, you have to pay more to get more.
