KLH Receiver Question: 8-ohm receiver, 4-ohm subwoofer?
I have a KLH R5100 Receiver. The manual says to only use 8-ohm
speakers, but I have a 4-ohm JBL Pro Performer series subwoofer (note - it is an older, non-powered subwoofer). What would happen if I connected the subwoofer to the receiver? Also, is there any KLH support on the internet? I can't find anything, even at the KLH website. Are they still in the receiver business? Thanks in advance for any help. |

a.. Company KLH Audio Systems

Fax 818-767-8246 http://www.klhaudio.com/ Most KLH amp products, like the slim-line home theater systems, have pretty wimpy amps. Maybe best to stick with 8 ohms. I wouldn't normally worry too much about it, but that's me. I'm a technician, I run things within their limitations, and if it breaks I can generally fix it myself. The worst would be if the power transformer went out. Doubtful KLH even stocks the part. Mark Z. "scredsfan" wrote in message om... I have a KLH R5100 Receiver.
