“My Denon 900 AVR Already handles 3way 4 ohm Cerwin Vega front speakers. I wonder if I add this 6ohm speaker to replace my JBL, if it would add more stress to it. The AVR has a 4ohm and 6ohm settings. Denon rep said keep it at 8ohms to maintain quality.”

Adding higher ohm speakers will not stress your system more (it's the other way around), and your Denon is OK with speakers between 4 and 16 ohms.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should work. The only thing is you might lose a little on the sound. Almost not noticeable to the ears.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You’ll be fine at 6 no question. These not being large drivers are not pushed like fronts or mains and aren’t fed as much Especially if yours does does 4 My Sony setup is 8 and most of my support gear is 8 but this works great. If anything you may dial it’s gain back to compensate for the 6 being naturally a little more audible volume wise
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Take the Denon rep's advice on this one. It is usually best to keep your speaker at 8 ohms for good balance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This speaker sound great with my Integra AV receiver. My center speaker is set to 80Hz so is my Surround channel speakers, At this setting the speaker sounds great, no issue. Peak handling power on this speaker is 100 watts and my AV receiver at peak can pump out 135 watts per 7.2 channel. For my listening, I don't hear any problem with to the sound quality, all the dialog going to my center channel is pure quality sound no distortion.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a Denon AVR-2312CI network receiver, and I just plugged in the speaker, calibrated with Audyssey and it works fine. The back of my receiver says to use 6 to 16 ohm speakers, but I do not have a switch to adjust the impedance matching. I think you have a higher end Denon model than I do. Not sure if this will help you. Otherwise, I suggest taking the Denon rep's advice.
