difference between 8ohm and 4ohm speakers . . .
I have a surround 5.1 setup consisting of 4ohm speakers. Now I need to
upgrade to 7.1. So I am on the market for new 7.1 AV receiver with full alphabet soup of sound protocols. I pretty much narrowed on Denon, Marantz and Integra brands. In relations with this I have two questions: 1. Looking in specs of new receivers I noticed that they quote their power ratings for 8ohms without mentioning 4ohms without mention if I can plug in 4ohms speakers. So is it safe to assume that modern AV solid state receiver can handle 4ohm? 2. I need to buy new pair of surrounds. Should they be too 4ohms. Can I mix 4ohms and 8 ohms? I would appreciate any technical advise on this matter. You can send responses directly to my e-mail address. Thx vova |
