Hey,
I've done a enough research to know that it should work fine, given my receivers power out-put and current characteristics.
I realize that driving 4 ohm speakers places more of a strain on my Yamaha, but I wanted bookshelf units for the rear and I found a pair of 160 W units for real cheap.
Anyway, I just want to know the following:
1. Is there an artificial method of adding an extra 4 ohms of impedence, say, for instance, by adding a resister or some sort to the speaker wire prior to entering the speaker inputs?
2. I've seen enough forum posts specific to people driving 4 ohm speakers with their 8 ohm receivers, and nobody seems to be reporting any issues (other than when attempting to output to the 4 ohm speakers at max volume levels). What have been your experiences doing this, and have you had any issues?
My setup is as follows:
Receiver: Yamaha HTR-6130
Front Speakers: KLA-9
Sub: Energy (too lazy to go grab the exact model number)
Rear speakers: Missil MA-302 (bookshelf units)
