Hi. I have a Sony STRDH550 Receiver with output of 45 W x 7 at 6 ohms. Will these speakers be okay with that output?

This seems well within the specs of the speakers. And they sound great. I mean blow your mind great. You can't go wrong with this mid-level Klipcsh, high end consumer/low end audiophile speakers, for bang for the buck .This Sony amp looks pretty good, however, you could probably do better. Consider a Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, Marantz.

i had a 6-ohm receiver with 8-ohm speakers, center, left, and right channel speakers and the most it did was the receiver would get a little hot sometimes, just try not to use it for more than 2 hours if the ohms are mixed and you should be ok. or if you want to be safe buy a powered sub.

I cannot think of any reason why it would not work just fine. I am not proficient in sound numbers but my receiver is 100 watts per channel and have 4 of the 6 speakers pairs hooked up and it works just fine. No problems at all.

You should have no issues with hooking up your 6 ohm speakers. We have multiple speakers set up in ourhouse and in my shop. I have two of these units and they work great.

these are a 4ohm but it will still work. the speakers will only get 4ohms. It will be much clearer sound. be sure to get the polarities correct. you will have good power at low volume and clarity and high volume. you will want to keep these and install them into future replacements. these will make working speakers sound top shelf. the speaker box also is a main factor. 2cm pine is ideal to use, it is light, durable, and handle sound like a violin does. speaker to box ratio is a factor too. highs and mid range is very flexible, but lows the right measurements. a cube box in relativity to the woofer is a good middle ground. Long box gives a that low comfy tone the reverberates. a short box gives that compression push. I make my own boxes, all the ones that are sold are complete rubbish. then they put high quality speakers with no 3 way crossover witch is a complete waist. Having a good box and a crossover is more important than the speakers, unless they are blown or tattered. i just have a sony house reciever, boxes i made with crossovers, and speakers i cannibalized from the dump and it is better than any thing i have herd, mainly due to the crossovers.

You certainly can and they have a wonderful tone to them. It will also allow you to upgrade your receiver to a higher power receiver if you choose for a future upgrade and they'll be able to handle anything from 10 to 200 watts power at 8 ohms. Also, skip the add-on warranty, the speakers come with a 5-year limited warranty out of the box.

A few HTIB receivers (including Sony) run at 6ohms. Sweetwater has an easy to understand article on speaker cable signal loss. For the distance you are looking at; 14awg of a good cable is fine.

You haven't provided all the necessary information to receive a worthy answer. We understand you want to power a pair of dual 15" speakers at 8 Ohms, but that's all we know. Complete your research by finding out the power handling ability and capacity of the speakers. Then, look again at the outputs that the amp is capable of. Your answer is then looking right back at you.I assure you this: Relying upon a bunch of people you do not know for answers to questions like this is going to come at a cost. You have no idea that they know anything about which they speak.

Hello NebTheWeb, This receiver is capable of driving 6 ohms speakers. I use a set of Totem Dreamcatcher (4 ohms) and the receiver is behaving great.

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.

You should do some more research as answers vary. Are you running 2channel? Bridged? Read the instructions, I don't recall the output in each mode, but it depends on the resistance of the speakers. Seems to me 250w rms speakers will do fine with that amp...

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.

Not a problem! These speakers can be easily over driven with a clean signal.I had them on a Sony 4 channel x 50 watt rms head unit with no issues as they are a 70 watt rmv speaker. I then added a kenwood 300 watt per channel rmv amp and again, no problems or even any significant distortion. They blow away any coaxial or triax type speakers I have ever heard. ENJOY!!!!

Sure, you'll want to wire them differently depending on the specs. If they're 2ohm speakers you'll want to wire them in series so they have 4 ohms of resistance. If they're 4 or 8 ohm you'll want to wire them in parallel for a 2 or 4 ohm resistance.

Correct, the 75W output rating applies to 4 ohm speakers. At 8 ohms it's less. Manufacturer's data provided in a tnt-audio web review indicated 50W for each of two speakers at 8 ohms:Power Rating STEREO: 50wpc @ 8ohms, 75wpc @ 4ohms, 0.01% THD, full bandwidth MONO: 150watts @ 8ohms

Should be fine if they are 8 ohm speakers. I think RX-A2020 amps are overrated for power but I would not use it with 6 ohm speakers.

You only need to look at RMS power for 8 ohms. Klipsch speakers are rated at 8 ohms and are very sensitive too so you won't have any problem driving them with 100 watts per channel. I use a denon 3313ci with my Klipsch RF-62 5.1 setup and it sounds great. Make sure you aDr a good subwoofer too. The best addition to my surround system is my SVS PB2000. I can't believe the difference it made.
