Hello everyone my 1st post,please forgive my spelling and grammer.I have a few questions to ask. Wanting to start building a new ht system I'm about 50-/50 on music and moves I lisen to classik rock and jazz. Ihave a old Sansui RZ-7500av reciver and a pair of DCM timeframe TF600,hopeing to upgrade reciver to a yamaha RX-v663 I think my speakers are 6ohm can u mix 6 and 8ohm speakers? Will the 663drive 6ohm speakers?hopeing to up grade to a 5.1 speaker system when i can aford it. and I'm looking for a good subwofer for between 300 to 500$ to go with the timeframes till i can upgrade.Thank u for ur time and trouble in advance!

Beginner 1960 welcome to the forum. Most speakers are rated at a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. You can mix speakers ohms, but you need to undestand that a 4 ohm speaker uses twice the current ( amperage) and twice the power that an 8 ohm speaker does. In order to use a lower impedance speaker ( 4 ohm or 6 ohm) you need a high current receiver or AVR ( audio video receiver). The RX-663 can handle high current and will support 4 ohm, 6 ohm or 8 ohm front speakers.


For $429 I would recommend the SVS PB10-NSD http://www.svsound.com/products-sub-box-10nsd.cfm
This will work for a small to medium sized room.

Good Luck!
