Yamaha RX-V671 + Monitor Audio Vector Speaker - Setup Help

[ichayan]

Hi

Please help me in setting up the following

AV Receiver - YAMAHA RX-V671

Speaker Front L&R

Monitor Audio Bronze B4 (6ohms)

Surround, L&R, Rear L&R

Monitor Audio Vector V10



Center - Monitor Audio Vector V20.


Sub woofer - Monitor Audio vector VW8



Its a 7.1 system.

Front speakers are 6 ohms

Rest of them are 8 ohms.

I am bit confused in mixing this.

1. is it okay to run the amp at its default settings of 8 0hm while front speakers are 6ohms.

2. How do I wire the two front speakers as I see a lot of configurations over the internet. ( The speaker box has two pairs of connectors, at the moment i ran 2 pairs of cable on to + and - post on the amp ( I think this is called bi-wire not sure)

Every help in this regard is highly appreciated.

1. Yes, I think you should be okay, just so long as you don't listen at blisteringly loud levels.

2. You can just plug one set of wires per speaker in the bottom two posts on the speaker (the + and - ones), there's no need to bi-wire, and doing it this way will put less strain on your receiver. Do not run two wires to each post on the receiver.

Hi
Thank you for your quick reply. Could you please clarify a bit more about wiring. The posts behind the speaker are not bridged. When you say single pair of wire running connecting one +ve and one -ve. Shall I bridge the two positive Poles and then two negetive poles? I appreciate all your help.
