8 Ohm Output into 4 Ohm Speakers

I was wondering if running my ROGUE CRONUS MAGNUM integrated amp into a 4ohm rated speaker would cause any damage?

Thanks.

I first tried the 8 ohm setting on the Cronus Magnum for a few months, then switched to the 4 ohm setting for a month and when I switched back to the 8 ohm setting again, I felt that gave me the best sound. You won't ruin anything by putting the 8 ohm speakers on the 4 ohm taps or vice versa. I got this directly from Rogue Audio. They told me to experiment and what sounded best to MY ears was the best way to go.
