Yes, you can mix 6 ohm and 8 ohm speakers. For that, firstly check the receiver. See if it has the option to set the ohms to 6 or 8. Next, scan the amplifier specs to detect the ratings. It will even pump out better power at lower ohms ratings.

Can i use 6 ohm speakers with 8 ohm receiver

However, the set of speakers you own needs a receiver to go with it to take your listening experience to the next level. You browse the internet, and an 8 ohms receiver catches your attention. We know that science can sometimes be boring. However, having an idea about ohms and impedance will make all the talk about speaker-receiver compatibility less daunting. Ohm is a unit of measurement that tells the electrical resistance of electronic devices, such as speakers and receivers. Knowing how much current a device can resist and withstand prevents users from letting their equipment work beyond its capacity. Measured in ohms, impedance is the ability of the device to resist a certain level of electrical current. To put it in another way, it tells users the amount of electric energy that a device, such as your speakers, can handle. The standard impedance rating of household equipment is 4, 6, and 8 ohms. Generally speaking, especially with how electronic devices are manufactured nowadays, having a 6 ohms speaker work with an 8 ohms receiver should be ok.

Post by Spinner45 » 15 Feb It seems the resounding consensus is these speakers are not worth buying. That plastic front panel on the Technics is probably not helping with the boxiness you describe although the cabinets won't be damped either. So in the case above 40w speakers and w amp just don't turn up over half-volume. Wiring seperately the highs and lows will not change the impedance load. This does have protection circuit IC on the output stage. CoolJazz , Jul 24, If not, how would it sound? It could be function of "current," measured in amps, which an amplifier can deliver to the speaker. Find More Posts by unitaudio. Board index Hardware Amplifiers and Loudspeakers.

The 6-ohm speaker is the perfect speaker for smaller spaces.

Aug 28, 2 0 10, Replies 0 Views The 6 ohm impedance won't be a problem and the amp will be able to drive the speakers properly. Feb 29, adrhc. Search Advanced search…. It never hurts to use a higher impedance loudspeaker unless you're trying to get the very maximum loudness out of the system. Moderators online.
