You are gonna cook your amp. The more speakers you use, the higher the impedance needs to be for that receiver. Since 5 ohms is the average, just think if you get a 3 or 4 ohm dip. You could buy an external multichannel amp or just a more robust receiver.
Can I mix 5 ohm ( Front L/R) and 8 ohm (Surround & Sub) in a 7.1 speaker setup ?
I have 2 Martin Logan speakers with 5 ohm impedance and 5.1 Boston Acoustics speakers with 8 ohm.
I am planning connect all together and create a 7.1 home theater setup.
Can I connect all these 7 speakers with different Ohm rating at a time in the same receiver ?
If yes , what should be the impedence I have to set in the amp ? 6ohm or 8 ?
Kindly advise.
The below is my speakers & Amp I am having :
AV receiver : Yamaha RX V-575
Front speakers : Martin Logan Motion 15 (5 Ohm)
Surround : Boston Acoustics A 2310 HTS 5.1 (8 Ohm)
