Re: Ohms?

If you really want to use those speakers with that receiver,you could put a 4 ohm resistor in series with each speaker.Half the power will be wasted across the resistors,but at least the amp will be happier.It's only a 3 db drop in output level,so unless you play them really loud,you probably won't even notice the difference.Since the amp is rated 100 w/ch,you should use a 50 watt resistor,but half that should work fine.
