6ohm speakers to 4/8/16 ohm amp?


I have 6ohm Living Voice Avatar II speakers and am hooking them up to a Marantz 8B amp. The amp has 3 inputs 4/8/16 ohms. Which is most appropriate to hook up to these speakers?

Depends on the actual minimum impedence, not the nominal impedence, and the impedence curve. That said, you should listen to the speakers connected to the 4 ohm taps and the 8 ohm taps and pick the ones that sound best to you. Typically the 4 ohm taps will produce better bass frequencies IF you need to use them.
