I have 5.1 100w speakers which are 6 ohm, but the amplifier i want (Yamaha DSP-AX757S) is 8 ohm...will that be ok, or will i blow myself up?

thanx

You should be fine.

If the amp is high current, it should be fine. Just don't go crazy :)

You definitely won't blow yourself up and it's not likely you'll blow the amp or speakers up. Perhaps you should search the forums for information on what impedance means so you can understand why.

I checked it out.
It's difficult to find information on that amp here in the US.

Like everybody's said, you wont blow up.

When you use 6 ohm instead of 8, the amp has to work a little bit harder to make things work. If you were to use <4ohm speakers and crank the volume all the way up, all the time, for extended periods of time...then the amp will start to have problems. If I remember correctly, the amp will get hot, it'll start cutting in and out, and possibly even turn itself off to prevent from being damaged.

# Ohms Impedance

Speakers and amplifiers normally have a rated impedance. (Most speakers are around 6-8 Ohms) The lower impedance the more current is used from the amplifier making it more troublesome for an amplifier that is not designed to cope with a lower impedance to drive. A higher impedance is easier for the amplifier to drive and so is less of a worry. Some amplifiers have an impedance selector switch to match the speakers better Ohms: A measurement of resistance. Speakers use ohms to measure their impedance The lower impedance (or amount in ohms) the harder the speakers are to drive. -www.digitaldirectuk.com

I hope this helps a little more.
