It is OK to use these speakers with an amp that is rated 8ohms?

Most current amplifiers can handle 6 ohm speakers without problem (though power output will go up, so pay attention to that). It's 4 ohm speakers where you'll start having serious problems - you'll need an amp that explicitly states it supports high current output. Check your amp's user guide - it should have what impedance is supported.

50watt rated speakers will work just fine with this amp. Max power into 8 ohms is 30wpc. You can get more power output by using 4 ohm speakers, but unless you're trying to fill a large room or you just like LOUD music 50watt speaker will work.

Yes you can. Specs say the amp is 2,4, or 8 ohms. Just don't mix on the A channel or B one 2 ohm and one 4 ohm speaker. If your going to install say the front speakers. Make sure they are the same ohms on the left and right. Same with the back speakers.

Should be fine. They are rated up to 100w. Just be sure that the impedence the amp requires (usually 8 ohms), to the speakers (I think 8 ohms).

These are standard 500 watt 8 ohm PA speakers. You will need an external amplifier to use them. These are not powered. I have had really good luck with these speakers.

Yes that would work just fine. If you have two speakers you can also run them in parallel safely. (Which drops the load to 4ohms)

I am not familiar with these, but if they are 8 Ohm they will push this amp harder than 4 Ohm speakers. Still, should be fine. I am using it with some Martin Logan 10's and it is extraordinary

I did some brief reading about how to match amps and speakers, and my understanding is that the amp's power rating should be less than that of the speakers--around half the peak rated wattage. But as well as power you have to make sure the impedance of the speakers matches the output impedance range of the amp. If you're running two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on each channel, that's actually 4 ohms, so check those numbers. We use this Grace BTAR122 in conjunction with two 80 watt Polk Atrium 4 speakers and it sounds fantastic.

Yes for sure.. Wire your speaker to one ohm.. Hope your amp is stable at one ohm

If your amp can handle a 4 ohm load that means you can hook two 8 ohm speakers up per side. That's 8+8 =4 ohm. You Re fine as long as the total resistance of your speakers are 8 ohm speakers.IF you run two 4 ohm speakers per side you get 2 ohms etc.You could also wire the two 8 ohm speakers I a series and get 16 ohms.

Oh heck yeah, without a problem. I'm running a Pyle 3000 Watt amp & their taking it all just fine. I strongly recommend these speakers. I couldn't be happier.

I would expect that if your speakers are more than 4 ohms when connected you'll be fine. It really doesn't matter what your speakers are rated only their impedance usually 4 to 8 ohms.

I have read a few reviews of the speaker system; they are described as for use with a computer sound system, they will probably burn out if you use this amp with them.

Yes, you won't have any problems. They don't have a very high impedance. You will be fine.

from my understanding your speakers ohms should not be lower than your receiver/amp. This will have your receiver working overtime to power those speakers which may casue overheating. For a 8 ohm receiver the lowest I would go would be 6 ohms; I think 4 ohms is pushing it.

I have not tried this but from the manual it describes utilizing both the A and B speaker sets. If this is similar to the stereo receivers of the 70s-80s, you would not want to use 4 ohm rated speakers as what normally happens is the speakers get paralleled and the resistance/impedance drops to 2 ohms and that the amp would never be able to handle without shutting down. If I remember, I will test this and comment further but everything I have read says this should work with 8 ohm rated speakers.

I don't see why not? I'ts only 2 ohms below 8 ohms. A little bit harder to drive those BS41's but yes, you can; particularly if you're just using these speakers for surround.
