KLH Receiver Question: 8-ohm receiver, 4-ohm subwoofer?

[scredsfan]

I have a KLH R5100 Receiver. The manual says to only use 8-ohm
speakers, but I have a 4-ohm JBL Pro Performer series subwoofer (note
- it is an older, non-powered subwoofer). What would happen if I
connected the subwoofer to the receiver?

Also, is there any KLH support on the internet? I can't find anything,
even at the KLH website. Are they still in the receiver business?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Most KLH amp products, like the slim-line home theater systems, have pretty
wimpy amps. Maybe best to stick with 8 ohms. I wouldn't normally worry too
much about it, but that's me. I'm a technician, I run things within their
limitations, and if it breaks I can generally fix it myself. The worst would
be if the power transformer went out. Doubtful KLH even stocks the part.
