Can we hook this to a receiver which is 8ohms?

My friend bought this Pair few months ago, for around $180 , but is real AWSOME speakers, now I wants to get one 2, is jacked up to $300, LOL, $120 Up , only in few monthsforget it!

I have mine hooked up at 8ohms But having a receiver that handles both 6 and 8 ohms is better but they sound great I'm now looking at new receiver now the new onkyo 636 to handle the ohms.

Not recommended so use them at your own risk as this receiver is rated for a minimum of 6 ohms.

Impedance it selected at the Amp or Receiver, I don't see why not. I have all 8 Ohm speakers, so this is not an issue for me. You can't mix/match 8/6/4 Ohm. Hope this helps!

I'd leave the selector at 8ohm and run the mix of 6 and 8 ohm speakers. It should be fine. The only way you'd run into a problem is with 4ohm speakers, and in that case you should be using a discrete amplifier.

The receiver can easily drive 4 ohm speakers. The RMS power rating of 80W applies to 8 ohm speakers, so the power output for 4 ohms will be somewhat greater.You can change the speaker impedance from the default setting of 8 ohms to 4 ohms using the "Advanced Setup" menu as described on page 37 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.

I have a pair of Infinity P363's connected to this receiver. Based on reviews for these speakers, they can hit 4ohms. Haven't had any issues at up to moderately high volume levels.

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.

If u have 2 subs DVC 4 ohm each. Hook them up into 1 ohm parallel connections and you're all set! have fun!

This is a 4 ohm and 8 ohm load amp. Run in mono you should be able to link from input b into input a on the next amp I believe.

I called Dual, who answered on first ring with a human! They said they can run off receiver or amp set to 8 ohm or 6 ohm fine. That is my set up on an HTR series Yamaha AV 5.1 receiver with 4 ohm on front channel running off 6 ohm for rest.

I am sorry, but the receiver you have doesn't have pre-amp outputs. You can't add any amp to this receiver. Sorry. Some of the higher end receivers have pre-amp outputs that allow you to add external amplification.

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 too am thinking of getting a 6ohm speaker package with a receiver rated at 8ohm. Are your speakers still working fine with this receiver?

They're 8 ohm impedance speakers. Will work with any receiver or amplifier expecting to see an 8 ohm load.Many 12v amps are looking for a 4 ohm load, which I think is what you're referring to. Some are switchable. You can wire these in parallel to get 4 ohms, but I doubt that would be practical for you, since you'd need to install two pair in order to do it properly. If your amp/receiver is expecting a 4 ohm load don't get these.

do you have 8 ohm speakers....if not this will make the receiver run hot and could put it in protector mode

It should be compatible with both. With a 4 ohm the power shall be exactly what the receiver is putting out. With a 8 ohm recover it shall not transfer the maximum power. I use with Onkyo 529 and 509 and they sound wonderful.
