I have the Onkyo TX-NR1007 receiver and confused on what power I can expect when using 4-ohm speakers.
The speaker impedance section in the manual says:
Other specs from the manual (page 153) say:
When I'm looking at speakers, what power can I expect this thing to deliver -- 270W max @ 4 ohm to the fronts? Sorry I'm new to all of this
The speaker impedance section in the manual says:
Quote:
You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms” (see page 53). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
Other specs from the manual (page 153) say:

Rated power output for all Channels
135 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 8 ohm loads, 2 channels driven from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion of 0.05% (FTC) 145 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 8 ohm loads, 2 channels driven at 1 kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion of 0.7% (FTC) 160 watts minimum continuous power per channel, 6 ohm loads, 2 channels driven at 1 kHz, with a maximum total harmonic distortion of 0.1% (FTC)
Dynamic power
320 W (3 Ω, Front)
270 W (4 Ω, Front)
160 W (8 Ω, Front)
