I want to connect my current speakers (from Onkyo HT S3300) to this unit. The Onkyo's show an impedence of 6 ohms. Will these speakers be ok?

Thanks for your question. A 6 ohm speaker would be a fine match for this receiver which would run them with no trouble at all. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Denon dealer.

I hooked it to system with 8 ohm impedance and works perfect!However, buy an oversized electrical wall box or an open audio box, otherwise unit fitting will give you headaches.

Well the Onkyo puts out 130W (8 Ohm) in 2 channel driven. If you want to take advantage of that power I would recommend getting a Polk Audio Monitor series system. The towers can do almost 300W 2 channel driven and sound great with a lot of power. In fact I think they are the best performance/dollars speakers out there unless you go the DIY route.

Yea its compleatly ohk to use the speaker wire you already have. But I would pay attention to the gage wire the onkyo system can handle. Because if you have to thick of speaker wire it won't fit. Plus this is a 7.1 surround sound system if you don't have the 7 speaker wires in you walls your not getting full listing experience.

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.

I bought these for work but experimented at home first. I also tested on two Denon Recievers, Denon 3312 and the older 2807 (now at work). First of all your amp should be high current or rated for 6 ohms, (these are 6 ohm speakers), I was surprised how far I needed to turn the volume up on both Denons. At home, room size is about what you have, I was ok with the sound they produced until I tried them with one of my subwoofers, I was blown away! I actually checked to see if my Infinity Beta 50's where playing the music. At work with the old 2807 Denon no sub in a large warehouse co-workers have stopped and commented on how nice the music sounds. Sorry for the long answer, I would say if your reciever can handle 6 ohm and you use a subwoofer you will be happy you bought these.

These are passive speakers .All you are required to do is connect speaker wire from a receiver or amplifier. The electrical resistance of each speaker or ohms. I never really checked. HOWEVER ,due to the cheap cost of these speakers I am confidently predicting that they are 8 ohms. Only if they are connected in parallel with the receiver will the electrical resistance be change to 4 ohms.

I don't see that being a problem. But I have never tried to run any speakers with that impedance. I did a little research and found this sentence in a post:"Marantz doesn't officially rate their receivers for 4ohms either, but they do just fine with 4ohm speakers. Marantz reps will tell you that its OK with most speakers. A lot of Yamaha receivers are rated for 4ohms, so the 667 would be another option at the $500 price point." I found this on: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=162749Good luck!

as I understand the higher the ohm the less efficient they are. I would suggest you call a reputable stereo store in your area for best answer. I put mine in a stock system and they work fine.

I have mine connected to 4 ohm Polk speakers and it works perfectly. You should not have any problems with 6 ohm speakers. The Motiva is a lot of power for a reasonable price.

All speakers can be connected in series but you will have to add the impedance of the speakers that are in series. In this case, 4 ohms + 4 ohms = 12 ohms. The new impedance load for the amplifier would now be 8 ohms. You can easily check this stuff on google.

No problem. If memory serves, these speakers will handle that power easily. I am running a Crown 1500 watt amp into them and daisy chaining them so effectively 4 ohms. These are great speakers, light weight and good sound.

hello I have mine hooked to a onkyo model 609 and they perform very nicely especially for the price I think these will work well for you with your set up the bass is descent and the highs and mids are pretty good so get and enjoy

Speakers do not have to come the same manufacturer. In my case I am using the stereo unit with an existing built-in speaker system. There are several stereo speakers in different rooms so in my case I need & use an impedance matching unit so that I do not burn out the amplifier in the stereo receiver. If I recall correctly the Onkyo unit I have has to be connected to 8 ohm impedance speakers. I don't recall the power output per channel, but I suspect you could get away with speakers rated for 30 watts or greater. Hope this helps.

No, they don't have to be the same brand. Speakers should only be matched by ohm rating - 8 ohm or 4 ohm. Speakers are the most important component to an entertainment system because they are what you actually listen to. I listen to Polk brand speakers. That's just my preference because they sound warm and natural. If you watch movies and want surround sound, then you may want to pair the Onkyo receiver with a surround package. If music is your preference, then you may just wish to go with a stereo pair. Depending on your physical layout, you can go with bookshelf or floorstanding. Hope this helps!

These speakers are 6 ohm, and I'm not sure what the Harmon Kardon 330c can actually handle. My guess is that it would actually be alright. The wharfedale diamond 10.1 speakers do sound great to me.

8 Ohm. This is the link to Onkyo's website. http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=SKS-HT540&class;=Speaker&p;=s
