You just have to be careful pushing lower impedance speakers with lower power receivers. On the other hand, changing the receiver’s impedance setting just cuts the power output way down as a safeguard which is not desirable (just forcing the volume down for you).

Your speakers do not look like they will be much of a problem for the Denon but if you drive them really hard for long periods, the protection circuitry may shut it down or it may get really hot which will trigger something.

Pretty clear?

 

Leave it at 8ohms regardless of the speakers.

 

Hello. As the title states I'm having trouble picking what I should select. There is sooooo much conflicting info out there when I try to research this. lol Just made a post over at reddit's home theater sub and got different answers just like the research. But you guys seem more knowledgeable. My setup is 2 rear Klipsch SB-1. Side surround is 2 Pioneer S-HF41-LR. Center is Klipsch KV-1. All are rated 8 ohms. But the other day for Prime Day I just picked up a pair of Sony SS-CS5 for the fronts. Those are rated 6 ohms. The Denon manual clearly states use the default of 8ohms if all speakers are 8 or over. If any connected speakers are 6ohms use 6 ohms. I'm leaning towards do what the manual says to do but then there's ten zillion posts about how that's just due to liability and it's fine to run at 8. Others though talk about issues if running too loud if set to 6. IDK what is propper to set, this is my first 7.1 setup.

And since I got you here I have another less relevant question since I like the center enough and don't have a lot of money to spend. (I got all the Klipsch in a package at facebook marketplace with what I really wanted was which was just a subwoofer) It's the Klipsch KSW12 and I like it enough. I didn't need or want any house shaking base. So my question is is it worth it to switch the center to Sony's SS-CS8 center to better match the new Sony CS5? All 3 are pretty close together as shown in the pic and it seems like it sounds good enough at least as is. I'm not really worried about the side and rears matching.

lol If you're wondering what that janky stand is it was my orriginal TV stand for switching how it faces from my PC desk to the bed in the bedroom so it's on a lazy susan. I wanted the TV high but a wall mount wasn't an option. It might look janky but it's actually waaaaay more stable than the plastic legs that came with the LG TV. That I could easily knock over. This beast is heavy and centered with a larger footprint than the legs. I'd have to either hit it REALLY hard, or lift one end up to knock it over. It's funny to look at but it does its job well.

Leave it at 8ohms.
Note that with the 3 front speakers that close together you basically have a mono setup. Try figuring out how to get those l/r speakers separated from each other. The improvement in sound will be significant .
Best of luck.

 

Interesting thanks. Than how do soundbars work since they're so close together? I mean even if they're really expensive they're still close.

 

If you wanna fry your amp set it to the highest setting. Know you try to heat up your room by any means. Sure you get the highest volume (what a bizare and idiotic goal is that)
Put tons of ventilation power on the amp to protect the amp from idiotic decisions.

Put it to the lowest possible setting if you dont want to trigger the build in fan. If you lack volume check your head/ears!

760 doesn't have a fan.

I'm late to the party, but I would like to call to use the 8-ohm setting.
