    Re: Stereo Setup Assistance

    Am I going to damage my Receiver without running my 6 ohm Speakers in Parallel?

      @ PCBONEZ: Bottoming out vs exceeding linear excursion are totally different things with totally different audible (and physical) results.
      spin spin spin.
      If you over power it you bottom it.
      If you bottom it you broke it.
      Nothing else really matters.

      Using speakers rated for less than the amps actual output is inherently stupid and that's all there is to it.

        Um, running 2x 6 ohm speakers in parallel means impedance is 3 ohms = more difficult load = not good. Series i think is what you were thinking about.

        Even if the receiver is only rated for 8 ohm operation, 6 ohm speakers are going to be okay, especially since you're going to be using just two channels. I wouldn't try it with 4 ohm ones though.

          Do I need to run these in series then to be on the safe side?

              I rocked the whole Neiborhood today with Metallica's Death Magnetic CD Never once did I drive them into distortion or clipping not with my 100 watt high performance receiver.

                    You guys have already spent too much time on this topic. The people that don`t understand this keep buying speakers and amps (good for the economy).

                    I have never ruined good speakers with a good amp!

                    If you have, there was an alcoholic beverage near by.
