Hi All,
I recently bought these Taga floor standers. I have a Yamaha RX-V667 receiver. The overall performance of the combination is really good.
But I have noticed a strange thing.
These speakers are rated at 6 ohm. With the receiver set to 6 ohm, the 2 channel sound is bass heavy and a bit boomy. Strangely if I set the receiver to 8 ohm the sound is very pleasing and the bass is tight. All the other speakers in my 7.1 setup are rated at 8 ohm.
I am confused as to which setting I need to keep the receiver - at 6 ohm or 8 ohm. The Yamaha forum recommend that if you have a mix of 6 ohm and 8 ohm speakers to keep the setting at 6 ohm.
After listening to the sound I prefer the 8 ohm option. But I also read in various articles that the speakers /receiver may get heated up and clipping may occur at high volume if we drive 6 ohm speaker with 8 ohm setting. While watching movies I do tend to drive the volume levels high ( -10 ) especially for Blu ray viewing.
I am afraid that with 8 ohm setting I may damage the speakers ( especially tweeters) and/or the receiver itself. I am confused. Please advise.
