The 4 ohm speakers have a smaller impedence then the 8 ohm ones, that means 
the current (I) will be higher with the 4 ohm speakers then with the 8 ohm 
ones.
 The result will be louder sound with the 4 ohm speakers when the volume 
control is on X position.
As for damage . . . .
 I cant tell U the there wont be, but It Can (Not for sure) butn out both
 The reciever and the speakers, coz when the current is higher the heat of 
 the electric components will rise, if they will not be able to dispose of 
 all of it they will burn out.
