It is a 4 ohm speaker, what would be most compatible receiver? A 4 ohm compatible or regular 8ohm receivers?

Dear Nat,A good quality 2 channel or surround receiver should do just fine.Eric C

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.

8 Ohm, however they aren't very sensitive at 86db/W/m - meaning you'll have to drive them with lots of wattage (double that of a well build 89db/W/m) speaker. It's one reason a typical Onkyo receiver tends to output +/- 25% compared to similar models from Yamaha/Pioneer/Sony.

They are 4 ohm speakers. Your receiver should have a L/R & F/R. Their for allowing you to hook up 2 sets.

Jonathan, here is some information that might help320W @ 8 Ohms480W @ 4 Ohms700W or 480W Amp Only:¼" speaker outputjacks. Impedances Lower than 4 Ohms should not beused. Higher impedances such as 8 Ohms, 16 Ohms,or No Load are acceptable. One 4 Ohm, one 8 Ohm,or two 8 Ohm cabinets are okay. One 4 Ohm and one8 Ohm together is not recommended. The internalspeakers equal an 8 Ohm load. No damage willresult from operating the amplifier with the speakersdisconnected.

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.

This unit is built for output impedance 4-8 Ohm. By using 2 Ohm speakers you are risking to burn unit amplifier; this is not really high end equipment.This unit has RCA output and option to attach an amplifier; that would be better way to go.

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.

This receiver Works best with 8 ohm speakers, the rated outputs is 1500 watts total

The guy below is correct. It's rated for 8 ohms. It is a damn good stereo receiver for the price though. Don't let the namebrand fool you. I did hook up 6 ohm speakers to it though and it never really got hot. I never tried 4 ohm speakers though.

Its a 1500 watt receiver. I"d be very careful using 4 ohm speakers,they will blow up at that wattage,but it will work.

They're supposed to be 4 Ohms even though the back says "4/8 Ohms" but in reality they're less than 4 Ohms - a tad under 3.5 Ohms. unless your amp/reciver can tolerate resistance of 2 Ohms which very few can, don't wire them in parallel with an 8 Ohm speaker. I did and it almost fried my receiver.

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.

On a 4 OHM output amp. You use one 4 Ohm speaker or two 8 OHM speakers. Example: One 8 OHM speaker + One 8 OHM speaker = 4 OHMs.

You need 4 Ohm Speakers that can handle 85 Watts of power. I used 4 Pyle speakers no problem.

Yes. Make sure you set receiver speaker settings to 6 ohm. Most receiver default setting is 8 ohm. Refer to your manual if you are not sure where or how to change setting. Get these speakers. You will love them. Make sure you have a sub to go with 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.

Nope, it is only compatible standard (non 70 volt) amps and 4-8 ohm speakers. I install home theater systems.
