Default 8 ohm speakers on 4 ohm unit?

I have an old (circa 1995) Kenwood stereo/cd player which takes 4 ohm
speakers. Can I hook up some 8 ohm speakers to it? What will happen to
the stereo unit? What will happen to the speakers?



No problem, the SPL will be somewhat lower than with comparable 4 ohms
speakers, but no damage will be done.
