Well, you are really interested in building a quality system, so you are wondering about choosing 8-ohm vs 6-ohm speakers. You need to know what your system is capable of. After all, impedance does not determine sound quality. But it is an important indicator that can affect the overall listening experience. To understand what impedance you need, in this article, I will compare the two most popular types with each other and answer common questions. It will be interesting!

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. Perhaps down to 4 or even 2 ohms.

Other Sony receivers that I am more familiar with stated their rated power at 40 Hz to 20 kHz at 6 ohms. It is a protection for the manufacturer against liability of users overheating their amps when running low impedance speakers. Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Category 4. Power Supplies Oct 14, Darkbreeze. Discussion in ' Audio Hardware ' started by Gramps , Jul 24, In fact some "8ohm nominal speakers" spend a lot of time in the ohm area. Tubefriendly loudspeakers? You might not meet the distortion or power output specs with the wrong impedance load, but again I wouldn't expect any problems to be severe.

Using 6 ohm speakers with an 8 ohm amp is feasible, but there are specific things to keep in mind.

So watts may not be the best realistic measurement of power of an amp. Just from looking at the back, it doesn't look to be one of their higher end amps. The problem is a lot of designers in the audio industry perhaps chose the wrong career. Thank you all for your advice! View attachment I picked up the Technics speakers and they sounded reasonably good at first but the bass is somewhat boxy and they are lacking in the mid-range. It looks like it might be an MTM design, one tweeter and two mids, with an added bass driver. Should I look for a set of 8 ohm speakers? Rick Bartlett , Jul 24, I connected them and as I imagined it doesnt sound as good as I think they should -- and no bass really at all Generally speaking it'll be fine. Thread Tools. Wiring seperately the highs and lows will not change the impedance load. Ishmael Super Member. Even that will make conversation difficult.
