Can I utilize this receiver to push 4 120watt peak @ 8 ohm speakers in A+B mode without clipping?

Normally, connecting two sets of 8 ohm speakers would result in a load of 4 ohms (this receiver is not certified for operation below 6 ohms), however, the VSX-1022 is wired such that speakers in the "A+B" mode are connected to a separate amplifiers and do not have that issue. As far as clipping is concerned, the receiver is rated at 80 watts per channel and although 120 watts is the maximum power handling capability of the speakers you are describing, that figure has little to do with the conditions under which your amplifier will "clip". Factors including the efficiency of the speakers, size of the room and sound pressure level all have to be taken into account to make that determination with any degree of accuracy. For purposes of this discussion, if you were listening to music at moderate levels (background music) with those speakers playing in in two separate 10x12 rooms simultaneously, this amplifier would play just fine without any audible distortion.

It will power the 1200 watt speakers up to 4 of them, but I wouldn't operate the receiver at max volume. It may blow them out. Speaker watt should be equal or greater then the receiver. Yes, you can connect up to 3 sources.

I would say it should be fine as long as the 150 watts is not the peak power, but invest in an external equalizer and use together. If you experience a lot "cut offs" or receiver resets, return it and get something either beefier or a brand that pushes more efficient power like Onkyo.

I have mine connected to 80 watt max speakers so you should be fine. Just be aware you will get distortion if you max it out or if you music has a lot of base.

yes, this is the receiver I am using, it sounds great, but you may want to get a powered sub...

Yes, you want speakers that are rated at 100 watts each or more. This receiver is set up to conveniently drive two pairs of speakers. You want all speakers to be rated at 100 watts or more. There is no advantage to getting speakers rated much higher than 100 watts either, so try to find 100, 120 or maybe even 150 watt speakers for this, nothing higher.

I don't know how much performance you are looking for but mine is used to run a six speaker set with two 200w 12 in woofers - all are 8 ohm. It gives me far more volume than I could want. However the remote must have line of sight exposure to work.

Yamaha receiver? I run mine with a digital 4 channel fx mixing board and have it wired out to two 750w peak pa speakers (sub + horn). Works fine

I would move up to more power for floor standing speakers. Odds are you'll bottom out with this receiver.

Interesting scenario. The only I can think of is to split the connection since you probably only have one center channel speaker output on your receiver. The other thing you can do is use your rear center channel connection if your receiver has it.

Im not sure if I fully understand what your asking but yes there is an a/b selector for two different outputs. This device simply allows you to run more speakers from a single output while maintaining the proper ohm load. As in, if you ran this amount of speakers with out the device, depending on your wiring method, the resulting ohm load will likely be way too high or, more likely, too low. This can quickly damage an amplifier beyond repair. There are different versions of these. Rated from 4-16 ohms. Just match to your amp.

It depends on how loudly you speak and the efficiency of your speakers, as already addressed by Jon Alexander. This receiver can/will crank without sounding compressed/congested/distorted. It outclasses every cheap mass-produced receiver out there. If your speakers are reasonable quality and can handle not only high power being fed to them, but more importantly...HIGH PEAKS, you should be fine. Another important consideration is the size of your room.

If your receiver has enough power (say at least 120 Watts per channel) it should be okay to hook it up to the receiver.

the advice I found, and only after trying it with Bi-wired with my receiver, was unless you actually have two amps to power the speaker, wire it with the bridge in place via the single channel. You won't notice enough change with it bi-wired, and you only end up losing a pair of channels that you could otherwise use for rear surround or a second zone.

Should be no problem, it just relays the signal. My receiver is the same 140 per...but never crank it that high. I have for four 80 watt speakers running through it.

Sure. That should work ok. Wire your 4 ohm speakers in pairs in parallel and terminate on each of the 2 inputs. The switch has impedance matching settings as you increase the number of speakers. Terminating more than 4 wires will be the challenge under the terminals. Oh by the way. This switch was under $30 just 2 months ago, not $47 today.

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!
