    Yup, so get whichever ones you want based on physical size and color availability.

    All the 6 ohm setting does is limit the power to the speaker terminals which can affect the sound quality. I run 4 ohm speakers all around on the 8 ohm setting in my Yamaha w/ no problems. Remember when a speaker manufacture rates their speakers it is a nominal rating, but in actuality all speakers impedance varies (even widely on some) over the entire frequency range. It doesn't remain constant as many think.

    Ok so back with the bad news. Looks like the the towers are a no go. I hate to pass up such a good deal ,but I just dont have the room for them plus a sub. I can do bookshelfs with a Rhythmik 12 though. They dont have to be super small bookshelfs maybe two woofers and a tweeter 25inch tall max. I need to be able to fit them on top of my tv stand. Any good recommendations for bookshelf size speakers? Home theater being my main goal. I keep going to EMP website just to depress myself I guess.

    If you are looking at a 1,000 dollar investment, you would do well for yourself to spend 100 bucks on gas to go properly audition as many speakers as you can to make sure you end up with something that you know you will like.

    Buying speakers without listening to them is like going on a really expensive blind date.
