View Full Version : Matching 6 ohm and 8 ohm speakers

I found a good deal on some 6 ohm speakers, but all of my others are 8 ohms (center, fronts, surround, and back). I would move my current fronts to the bedroom and use my Zone 2.

Should I worry about mixing and matching these as long as I have my receiver set at 6 ohms? Are there any negative consequences for the sound?

Thanks...

Provided your receiver can handle the lowest ohm rating out of all of the different speakers, mixing impedances is not a problem at all. Speaker impedance ratings have no relationship to sound quality.

Hope this helps!
