Can you use 8ohm speakers with a 6 ohm reciever?
Answers: yes it will work, but for best sound quality go with the same impedance(#ohm) speakers!
You sure can. Ohm on the receiver end describes how much of a load the amp can handle. Ohm on the speaker end describes how much of a load the speaker offers. As long as the speaker impedance is equal to or greater than the impedance rating of the receiver, you'll be fine.
The person below me has it exactly backwards. The lower the impedance on the speaker the greater the load on the amp. Never use a speaker with an impedance rating LOWER than the amp is rated for.
Just makes sure the ohm rating on the speaker is never higher than what the amp is rated at and you should be perfectly fine!
Yes. You can always use a speaker that is rated higher than the amplifiers rating. It would be a mistake to use a 4 ohm or 2 ohm speaker with your system. Usually the system will overheat and shut down if you use a speaker that is less ohms than recommended but you can do damage to your system if its older without the protection devices that are built into today's amplifiers. You also have to be careful when using multiple speakers on a system because dependeing on how they are wired you can end up with a much lower ohms rating than what you think. EX: 2-8 ohm speakers could actually give you a 4 ohm load.
As these other people have sad, YES you can . The problem you may run into is damaging the amplifier driving the speakers. This damage is due to the amp having an internal impedance,( in your case 6 ohms). By mis matching the impedance on the speakers you are causing to much current to be driven from the amp to power the speakers. As long as the amp is not driven more then 2 \3Rd's it max power you should be fine.
yes but you wont get stable sound, also 6 ohm can be unsafe for your 8 ohm receiver, to much power out of control.
Ohm is a measure of Resistance - in this case, to power. Simply said, when an amp rated 8ohms and 100 watts is used to drive speakers rated 4ohm, the speakers will have resulted in a power demand of 200 watts on the amp. Result = smoke.
Since your speakers are rated at a higher resistance than your amp, there should be no problem on the amp. With due respect to the earlier posts, the resistance equation alone, will not result in altered sound quality, all other things being the same.
