I did not realize when I purchased two pair of speakers that they wer
different ohm ratings. Can I still use them on the same system?
I have a 6 channel Pioneer receiver (600 watt max) and a pair of Bos
151 outdoor speakers (4 ohms - 80 watts max) and KLH outdoor speaker
(8 ohms - 150 wats max).
What are the consequences of using both pairs of speakers, althoug
mismatched together?
Depends on what you're doing. I assume the Pioneer is for a surroun |
home theater set up. These receivers typically don't have very rugge
power amplifier sections. Your outdoor application is probably for us
of the receivers 2 main front stereo channels. The Pioneer isn't goin
to like a 4 ohm load very much, let alone a 2.66 ohm load if you wir
the Bose & KLH's together. Maybee for lower background listening, bu
forget about cranking it. Pick up a nice rugged used 2 channel powe
amp for the outdoor system and let the Pioneer work for the hom
theater environment
