Impedance Breaks The Deal
I was nearly set on the theater speakers that I was going to buy. Then while doing my final checklist before ordering, I took one last look and noticed something odd with the impedance rating of the speakers. It was 4 ohms. Odd. All the receivers that I have been pricing usually say 6-16 ohms supported. Even a $6,000 receiver that I want badly (but am not getting for fear of divorce) only supports 6 ohms. So now those speakers are out.
The good news is that it will save me money. The next set of speakers in the product line are about half the cost of those with 4 ohms. So here are the speaker choices so far. I plan on ordering the rough-in kits and wiring today!
Left and Right Front
Center, Left Surround, Right Surround
Left and Right Rear Surround
Subwoofer
Any feedback on these models?
