Help. Can passive spkrs instead of active? POST EDITED!

Hi folks. I just bought an used Yamaha system that uses active servo speakers. However, I have no speakers and need to get a pair. Does anybody know if using conventional speakers can cause any damage on the amp/receiver?

CORRECTION!:

I got the manual, and it turns out that the active servo amplifier is inside the receiver and not in the speakers. The particularity of the speakers is that they have an opening in the back "air woofer", which, as they say, performs the function of an actual woofer. There is a a short but too technical explanation in the manual. Should anybody be as nice as to take a look at the paragraph, I am posting the pdf, and the paragraph in question is at the very bottom.

Cheers!

What is the model of your yamaha?

Any receiver should be compatible with any speakers that have the appropriate impedence range (look for 8 ohm speaker).

I am aware of a connector on Yamaha recevers including mine that is designed for use with the most expensive Yamaha sub. This might be the active servo feature you speak of. At any rate, this connection is optional and Yamaha subs are not that great.

If you post a speaker budget and room description, you will get plenty of recommendations.

yamaha and speakers

Thanks jc, the receiver is Yamaha RX-S70. At the side of the speaker connectors (looklike standard connectors) it says that only NX-S70 should be used, although it also says that speakers imp has to be 6ohms minimum, which suggests that other speakers would work as well. My concern is that, as the yamaha are active, the output from the receiver could be too weak for conventional speakers. Is this true?

Thanks a lot.
