Aloha to all....

This is my first post here...so go easy on me...I'm still taking my vey FIRST steps in the world of A/V

I have just purchased a Yamaha RX-V540 reciever for my living room (newly married!!) and was hoping to pair it with a good set of speakers... :cool: Its about 20ft x 15ft

Here are my options:
1- Bose acoustimass 6...didnt like how they sounded

2- JBL SCS178....nice..

3- Infinity Primus HCS....nice....

My mind is almost set on the JBL set...however there is one difference i noticed...the nominal impedence on the JBLs is 4ohm and on the Infinity is 8ohms....

i read somewhere on these forums that the LOWER the impedence the BETTER the speaker?? true??

Secondly...does the Yamaha RX-V540 support either the 8 or 4 ohm impedence??

P.S. Please do not suggest ANY other speaker brands...I know there are some really much better brands...but these are the ONLY brands I have where I live...

And in case anyone tells me it all depends on how i like the speakers and how they sound...well...it would very much help to get some expert listeners' opinion... :rolleyes:

Thanks!!

The actual impedance of the speaker has nothing to do with the quality, efficiency, or sound of the speaker.

That amp could have trouble driving the JBLs.

The Infinity Sub is powered as near as I can tell. It's apparently not available in the US and the only info I found was Greek. But it looks to have it's own amp.

As far as i can tell, the Yamaha would drive the JBL's with ease, but i preffer the sound of Infinity.
About BOSE, i've read a lot of posts here saying this speakers are extremely expensive for what you get, judge yourself.
