What is the impedance? Its listed as both 6 and 8 ohms in different places up there...

The pair i purchased last year from parts express were listed as 8 ohms, but measured 4 ohms.

The nominal impedance is 8 ohms. As a note, the impedance is 4 ohm up to ~70Hz, which it climbs up to 12 ohms at 100 Hz and soon drops back down to 4 ohms at 200 Hz, then does the slow climb to ~9 ohms around 5-6kHz, and trends slowly to 4 Ohms again for the rest of the audible range. If you're just looking to see if this speaker can work for you, don't worry about the nominal impedance. If it isn't a completely off-the-wall audio setup and you're going to be listening at below 100dB levels, you won't hear any distortion (unless you're a Labrador) and you won't cause the receiver to run too hot.

February 2016 ... you have an excellent question here. The photo on the Parts Express site displaying the current B652 speaker (now made by a different manufacturer), clearly shows the speaker impedance as 6 ohms. Sales deception will not exist in a manufacturer's speaker impedance, 6 ohms should be 6 ohms. An exception would be a fortune cookie impedance. Did a previous manufacturer of Dayton B652 speakers label them as 8 ohms ? I don't think so, a youtube video shows both the old, and the new, labeled as 6 ohms.

Im not so sure about the stated impedance.. I have a Yamaha 373 100 watt receiver and it has shut itself off twice with this speaker after playing loudly for a bout an hour. I have been comparing the Daytons, the Micca42(x), Pioneer bs22, some vintage baby advents, Polk T15, NHT Super Zeros and Klipsch kb15s, The Daytons are the only ones that cause my receiver to (presumably) overload/overheat/shutdown. But, they sound great! I am currently using them with a Lepaii 2020Tamp in a small room setup for casual listening without issues.

Sorry! This question exceeds my pay grade. I've always used only 4 ohm, only 8 ohm or switchable 4 to 8 ohm speakers together.

There are several versions with different resistance - you may be looking at the description of the 32 Ohm version.

Check the Polk Audio website for the specs http://www.polkaudio.com/mm651/d/1151 . According the their specs - Electrical - Nominal Impedance 2.7 ohms

Got these hooked to a 8 ohm receiver and it performs great. The box said 8 ohm. Believe what you want. I have these mounted on my front deck.

A speakers impedance is quite variable across the frequency band. So the 6 ohm speaker is just an average and there is no standard in assigning this nominal rating. I have used 8 and 4 ohm speakers on either taps and frankly can hear or detect no difference. But, to be safe you can just hook the 6 ohm speakers to the 4 ohm if you are worried. It will be fine either way.

Hi Dork! You can set the receiver to 6-ohm in the Advanced Setup menu. The procedure is described on page 116 of the owner's manual.

Should be 8 ohms...not going to see lower then that unless you get the really high end audio stuff. Typically...even still 8 ohms is about the standard.

The settings are 6 and 4 ohms. To be safe you can keep it on 4 ohms all the time.

8 Ohms -- http://www.bicamerica.com/showpage.php?brand=2&type;=11&spkrID;=36

Either 6 or 8 ohms should not make a difference. Any home receiver will be compatible. These speakers are used as satellite speakers in my application since they do not produce a lot of bass.

Hi Eadie, Impedance is 16 ohms and Frequency Response is 20Hz - 20,000Hz. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

Hi, you should have no issues at 8 ohms. Used a dozen of these for an install last year and they sound great, and the moveable tweeter makes a difference

Found this on the manufacturer's website: Impedence: 6 ohms Wattage: 56 Watts @ 1kHz http://www.limitlesscreations.com/limitless-creations-x563/

It's not 75 ohms according to my MFJ antenna analyzer. It's unbalanced ranging from 3 ohms to 572 ohms over the FM radio frequencies.

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.

Hi,Am in the same boat. Other differences I see are receiver is 6ohm for 6200 vs. 8ohm for 5300 with speakers being 6 ohms...somewhere read that 6 ohm driving 8ohm is not that good..(I am not a techy)Any of you decided yet?Also does anyone like the sexy Energy 5.1 speaker set (will have to buy receiver separately)...any comparisons?
