As I can see the avr 1610 is rated to 6-8ohm... the question is: can I mix front and rear at 8ohm and central channel at 6ohm?

I don't advise to do so! Something chaotic? Keep the same impedance at each outlet. Wish it were furnished by a DMP to test it!?

Sure run the front 2 channels on HP or High Pass and bridge the rear and switch to LP or low pass. You have separate switches for the front and rear for or for you subwoofer. Try and get a dual voice coil sub to being the impedence down to 2 Ohms equals more power. I also recommend a 2 Farad Capacitor from VM Audio for this and remote bass knob.

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.

Hi Dork! You can set the receiver to 6-ohm in the Advanced Setup menu. The procedure is described on page 116 of the owner's manual.

I have not hooked it up yet. On my receiver though I have separate sub woofer outputs. Put if you do hook it up in parallel it would be 4 ohms. Most systems are ok at 4 ohms.

Sony BDVE780WWill this unit act a a six-speaker stereo for music listening?Also, could I hook up a couple of good 8-ohm speakers to the front channels?Thanks,

Jan, To error on the side of safety, I would hesitate to drop below the rated impedence of your receiver. You might over heat the Yamaha especially at higher volumes.I am running the ns-310 center with two ns-210's for left and right on a 7.1 system. The rest of my speakers ARE 8 ohms, BUT my av receiver (Denon 1912) is rated at 6 to 16 ohms.The center speaker you are considering, has an exceptionally clear, crisp sound.Hope this helps, Rick

It should be OK. My Yamaha avr can get to 95w and these spkrs are still fine at very loud level (my ear drums start getting hurt)

Hi,Am in the same boat. Other differences I see are receiver is 6ohm for 6200 vs. 8ohm for 5300 with speakers being 6 ohms...somewhere read that 6 ohm driving 8ohm is not that good..(I am not a techy)Any of you decided yet?Also does anyone like the sexy Energy 5.1 speaker set (will have to buy receiver separately)...any comparisons?

Depends on what the ohm rating is for speakers you are driving. You'll realize more power to the speakers with 6 Ohm than with 8 ohm (140 per channel vs 100 per channel). The amp is rated at 100W per channel x seven channels @ 8ohm.

I haven't run 6 ohm speakers myself but have read dozens of reviews from people who have. This receiver is excellent and I recommend it. According to the community at large you will be fine driving 6 ohm impedance speakers with this receiver.

That's for the 6.5 not sure on others they have details if you click on item description 4.0 impedance and I have mine hooked to a punch amp and lowered ohm out put on amp they sound good on bike

According to Pyle it will present an 8 ohm load or better to the amplifier. I have not hooked mine up yet. It took forever to find an appropriate depth box with a mounting I could be comfortable with. The box depth is the big issue. then I had to paint the box to work with the wall. Mounting was the next issue. To say it fits in any box is total bull.I spent 3 weeks looking for a proper receptical box, with a mounting I could live with.

Yes it will work fine. If anything going up in ohm ratings is easier and safer than going down. You are taking a 6 ohm rating and going up to 8 which uses less power to drive the speaker. If you were trying to go from 8 ohm rating on the receiver and drive a 4 ohm speaker I might say look out you could cause your amp to switch off from overheating or tripping a fuse. You will be fine and if anything you'll have a little bit more presence from your middle channel now and maybe adjust it down a tad in your setup if it's too much.

Well ' yes I assume you can -Because I actually have a Pair of rather expensive 4-ohms I'm running for front left and right mains.. I have had receivers in the past that will give you the option of switching the ohm requirements in the main menu-- The 515 does not have this.. I'm thinking that in this day and age all of these receivers should be what we call 4-ohm compatable.. So in other words years and years ago if you had a set of speakers that would ever drop below a 4 ohm load-- You could actually damage the receiver.. I just don't see that as a problem any more.. So I havn't had any problems yet..- Thanks-- Frank Well ' yes I assume you can -Because I actually have a Pair of rather expensive 4-ohms I'm running for front left and right mains..

I am not sure, however I do have a problem. It is advertised as an 8 ohm amp but it is only a 4 ohm. I have been warned that it would damage my 8 ohm speaker. Is that true. I hope that, for both our sakes, we can hook up a reverb to the amp because the effects are not good. Haddon Salt

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.
