Can i use local 3-way speaker columns with my Yamaha Yht-196

[kyahaiyaar]

Hello Friends,

I have YAMAHA YHT-196, I love it. I have been usimg stock speakers with it. I want to use a 3-way speaker columns for my front left and right channel, my query is, since I am low on budget and cant afford branded 3-way speakers, can I use the local indian 3-way speakers i.e. from the local indian manufacturers like Thukral, OMEGA, Birco etc.

If so, what specs should I keep in mind while buying them. also, let me know if it will be a fruitful decision.

Sure you can use Indian made speakers with Yamaha Yht-196. There are good speaker manufactures in India as well who can stand par with international brands.
Check this link: DAC - Bass Reflex Bookshelf Speaker - Leron Mk1 - Pair

Hi,

You can use any speakers irrespective of brand provided the impedance, sensitivity and output (rms) is factored to compliment with the avr..

Check all the wires and crossover before connecting the local speakers...you would not want your avr to go kapute!

The above speakers are 4 ohms impedance, YHT 196 supports speakers of 6ohms and above, else the AVR may get overheated.

My 2 cents.

Those speakers are 4 ohms , 84 dB , do not use them with your AV. Your Yamaha will die an early unnatural death. Secondly Rs 12500 for a 4 inch single driver speaker!!!! It's too expensive!! For that money you get Sonodyne QAccoustic Polk Cambridge etc etc......

my budget is max 5k ...so I wont be buying them anyways

A simple multimeter can help determine the impedance of the speakers, I would not rely on the markings of local speakers, better to cross check with an ohm meter or multi meter.

Here is a wiki link to the same. It may not be 100% full proof but something is better than nothing:

multimeter at the input terminals may not be sufficient - it will detect only the DC resistance.

if you have a 4 ohm tweeter with a cap in series, the multi meter will not detect.
Best is to ask the speaker seller to remove the drivers and confirm that they are 8 ohms - its a simple job - all you need is a screwdriver
