Is this speaker compatible with my Sony 5.1 Ht-DDw660 which operates with 6 ohms @ 50 watts per channel? Thanks

Yes - it is compatible. My only advice is to use a lower volume setting when first setting up / balancing your speaker sound levels. This center channel should work perfectly with any 5.1 or 7.1 system.

Yes it will work fine. If anything going up in ohm ratings is easier and safer than going down. You are taking a 6 ohm rating and going up to 8 which uses less power to drive the speaker. If you were trying to go from 8 ohm rating on the receiver and drive a 4 ohm speaker I might say look out you could cause your amp to switch off from overheating or tripping a fuse. You will be fine and if anything you'll have a little bit more presence from your middle channel now and maybe adjust it down a tad in your setup if it's too much.

Yes it does. It will handle to 3.5 ohms but not an ohm less. so don't parallel your speakers, series them. Then you will not have to worry since it will handle up through 16 ohms.

i use it with emptek 55ti and their 6 ohm and its awesome,i just wouldnt use it in monoblock mode with 6 ohm speakers.

Can I hook up Sony SS-F6000 speakers rated 8 ohms to the LG LHB336 home theater system?

I wouldn't think this would be a good match. To put it simply, these speakers are public address speakers, and the Sony STR-DN840 is a home theater amplifier. For starters, the impedance for these speakers is 4 ohms per speaker. The Sony STR-DN840 says it has a load capacity per channel between 6 to 16 ohms. So I would think the impedance would be too low for this amp. Prolonged usage would probably cause your amp to overheat and turn off to protect itself. Also, keep in mind that receivers like this usually supply all the 1050 watts distributed between all the speaker channels. So, in this case, it will distribute the 1050 watts between each of the 7 speaker channels it provides. If you only hook up the front two speakers you will not get 1050/2=525 watts per channel. You'll probably only get about 100-200 watts per channel in that scenario.

I doubt you have 185 watts per channel RMS. These will work fine with your system. You won't over power them unless you over crank the volume. They will take a lot of power. I paired these with a set of the big boys, dual 15 inch woofers, Cerwin Vega, forgot the model number. Those I drive with a separate 700w RMS QSC amp. M base receiver is an 1100 watt Sony. That receiver drives the xls-28's no problems. Nice speakers. The big boys are too big for your setup. Weigh 120 pounds, and probably take 25 watts just to get moving. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! I believe that receiver is 50 watts per channel at 8 ohms, and that will drive these speakers nicely. These are good speakers, I have them in my master bedroom and they sound great!

Thanks for your question. A 6 ohm speaker would be a fine match for this receiver which would run them with no trouble at all. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Denon dealer.

I don't know about the minimum wattage but I know it maxes out at 250 watts (RMS value) when using the BRIDGE connection which has an output impedance of 4 ohms. Obviously you just need to make sure your main power/volume knob is turned up enough to get your 50 watt minimum. If you run the single channels they have an output impedance of 8 ohms.

Absolutely. The specs sheet info is aimed for 8 ohm speakers, therefore it should not have any problem powering 4 ohm speakers. By the way, wiat a power suply rated at 36V the max power rms it can deliver is 80W (40W per channel) if using 8 ohm speakers. If using 4 ohm speakers it should be able to deliver 160 W, but that would probably blow your speakers!

there is no set standard for rating watts, I have sold audio gear for many years, if you go to onkyo's web page and look at specs, you will see different numbers for different ohms and frequency, all manufactures do this. Very expensive amps will double there power into four ohms, but these are in the thousands of dollar range. The size of the power supply is what really makes a difference. If your speaker package is under the $2000 price range this should be fine, I bought this for my sons system.

I only have a 50 watt per channel and my speakers blast.I would be careful will the volume knob

NO. Specs say: 4 ohms: 1500 watts x 1, 2 ohms: 2000 watts x 1, 1 ohms: 2800 watts x 1. So the most you could ever get is CLAIMED 2800 watts if your speakers are wired to 1 ohm (you would need two 4ohm DVC speakers, or one 2ohm DVC speaker)

I had my techie guy measure it and it was running between 125 and 150 watts per channel - stereo at 8 ohms. I bought it to power a vintage pair of NS-10s and I have had no problems. Hope that helps.

Depends on how efficient the speakers are. 50 watts per channel should be plenty for most home listening. It works for me just fine.

@ 1 ohm this amp runs 1600 watts rms. So you will be fine if you wire the speakers in 1ohm.
