I have bose 201 speakers that are rated 4-8 ohms. Are they compatable . Also are the connection RCA?

Hi. It is compatible with 8 ohms, that I'm sure. However, there aren't RCA connections to the speakers. All in all, it is indeed a relatively weak receiver, but I think it is very good for its price range.

Hi again, Jerry... Just want to clarify my earlier answer... the speaker connections are not RCA. The phono, tape, CD and Video/Aux connectors are RCA. Sorry if my first answer was confusing....

I'm sure it can run your Bose speakers. And, yes it does have RCA connectors.

Hi, Jerry! The manual says to use speakers "with an impedance of 8 ohms or more." The speaker connections are not RCA, they're bare wire connectors with a screw-on type fitting. I hope this helps you out. Good luck. By the way and for what it's worth, we've enjoyed our amp and it hasn't disappointed us at all.

I will make this easy this recirver is crap sounds like soup I gave mine away

I ordered this model and they shipped a AG790 instead of the AG790A...I'm sure the comnections are the same...I agree with the two previous answers. Strip the insulation, twist the ends, insert in the connectors and tighten. Simple. You can power 2 or 4 speakers with this amp.

Jan, my receiver is a Sony STR-DH520 which is rated as 8 ohm output. I've had no issues connecting this speaker.

I don't see why not? I'ts only 2 ohms below 8 ohms. A little bit harder to drive those BS41's but yes, you can; particularly if you're just using these speakers for surround.

They are 4 ohm speakers. Your receiver should have a L/R & F/R. Their for allowing you to hook up 2 sets.

The manual says the speakers should be between 8 and 6 ohms impedance. You probably would run the risk of frying the output amplifier by overloading it at 4 ohms.

They are compatible to acoustimass, lifestyle and Cinemate home digital speaker systems according to the Bose website. If you have one of these with a wall mount and want to move it to a stand for better portability there shouldn't be any problem. If you don't know what model you have you can usually find it on the bottom of the control module.

I have a pair of Infinity P363's connected to this receiver. Based on reviews for these speakers, they can hit 4ohms. Haven't had any issues at up to moderately high volume levels.

I don't really know, I asked a rep. if I could just buy a console and use my Bose speakers from my Yamaha receiver and he said no the speakers are matched to the console, so you might want to contact a Bose store and asked a rep. about your's. Hope this helped.

No problem at all. Also for future reference, say if you have an amp with four and eight ohm binding posts, just wire the 6 ohm speakers to the 8 ohm posts and rock and roll!

I too am thinking of getting a 6ohm speaker package with a receiver rated at 8ohm. Are your speakers still working fine with this receiver?

as I understand the higher the ohm the less efficient they are. I would suggest you call a reputable stereo store in your area for best answer. I put mine in a stock system and they work fine.

This unit is built for output impedance 4-8 Ohm. By using 2 Ohm speakers you are risking to burn unit amplifier; this is not really high end equipment. This unit has RCA output and option to attach an amplifier; that would be better way to go.

I have a pair of Bose 301 book shelf speakers on mine, which works very well. Hope this helps.

My speakers have the near same 87dB, 8 Ohm, with 16G wire to them with 25 foot of wire so I hooked them together and ran it to one speaker and it sounded just the same. I think 16G wire will be just fine for your situation.

the output wires to the speakers are normal speaker wire, your choice of guage 12-14 would be ok the inputs are 1/4 inch depending on application mono or stereo. I have 2 - 2000's and 1 - 4000 amp in a stereo app and i use these. look here http://www.behringer.com/assets/EP2000_P0A38_M_EN.pdf

Speaker needs same ratings or it might damage unit or speaker . 4 ohm 8 ohm or 16 ohm and wattage ratings need to be within ratings for both , polarity also should be checked

The impedance with the high and low range terminals connected in parallel with supplied connectors (recommended default setting) is 8 ohms. The speakers can be driven with an 8 or 4 ohm amplifier. Most receivers are 8 ohms. I am driving them with an amplifier designed for 8 ohm speakers and they sound great. There should sound just as good connected to a 4 ohm amplifier. Basically the impedance of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the minimum rated impedance of the amplifier.
