Hi,
I have the following setup:
avr- Yahama rxv583
Center- Taga Harmony C-90SL
Surround - Taga Harmony S-90SL
Using the S-90SL as front for now and want to upgrade to better bookshelf speakers for the fronts.
Have the following in mind in preferred order:
1. Polk rti3 8 ohms
2. Elac B6 6 ohms
3. Taga Harmony platinum B-40 6 ohms
Question - Can I add 8ohms speakers to fronts while center and surrounds run 6 ohms? Will it damage the avr or speakers?
Hi, Regarding your question - you can connects speakers from 4 to 8 ohms to AVR which supports speakers impedence in this range but the fact is 4 ohms speakers are hard to drive and stress AVR to drive with more power than it does to drive 6 or 8 ohms and therefore care should be taken not to overpower the receiver (i.e. do not crank up volume) as it can damage the circuitry.
