RX-A 3000 and mixed speaker ohm's

[harleyoz]

Hi everyone, I've searched quite a bit but never found a post that really answered my question, so sorry if Im repeating a little from somewhere!

Ive recently setup my system & to be honest Ive never really checked the speaker ohms in the past & just hooked them up

Anyway My current setup with the Aventage reciever I have 4 Ohm speakers (130W RMS)on the mains, 6 ohm on the center (130W RMS) & rears (150W RMS)with 8 ohms on the surrounds (130W RMS).

It all seems to running fine & no issues with clarity when pumping the volume, do you think ther eis any danger tot he reciever running this way?

None what so ever. A speaker's impedance varies with frequency so the load to the receiver is always fluctuating.

Ok thanks! thats nice to know!

I also have the A3000. I set it to 6 ohm because thats the lowest the amp will go, i also have 4 ohm mains. Everything is fine.

I have used the RX-A1000 with 4ohm Martin Logans and it worked great, so the RX-A3000 should do all the better.
