In my 5.1 set up all the speakers are 6 ohms, if I replace my center speaker with this speaker which is 8 ohms will the sound quality be compromised?

Not to worry. All modern Audio/Video receivers can handle 4-16 ohm speakers with no degradation in sound quality. The most you will experience is a 1 or 2 DB drop in the cc speaker which is almost inaudible.

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.

No this crossover needs 8ohms of resistance and the pioneer speakers are 6ohms. I would not recommend doing what you are saying. This crossover is for a single 3-way speaker rated at 8ohms.

You need to stick with the same ohms. If you go with 4 or 6 ohm, you will transfer less power to the sub and it will sound bad.

There is a setting on the 573 to set speaker impedance to 6 Ohms. See p 80 of the owner's manual.http://download.yamaha.com/api/asset/file/?language=it&site;=it.yamaha.com&asset;_id=54064

I'm using mine with 6ohm (84db Sensitivity) Apogee Centaurs and it sounds amazing. I would think that your setup should be fine depending on the sensitivity of your speakers.

Ohms should not a problem. Make sure the protector button is on at all times so you don't harm amplifier if it is rated differently or you use assorted ohmed speakers.

They have a sound frequency crossover installed. I connected across from the main speaker terminals. I don't know about the ohm resistance but they work great on my 5 ch. System.

My Tech checked them, they are 6 ohm, however please understand that this is a complete Bose system, not intended to be used with other systems Amps, so if you were to use these speakers in any way that is not intended by Bose. And the speakers are damaged, I can not have them returned for a refund, I appreciate your interest, but must make this clear, as I said this is a complete Bose system, and not to be connected in any other way, thanks, Jack

I tried an old set of (I believe) 8 ohm speakers on the front right, left, and center channels and notice a marked improvement in sound quality. Do you have more information on this? Will the amp be damaged? Any idea where I can get better quality 3 ohm speakers?

I don't see why it would be a problem, unless you're very particular about the preciseness of your sound. I have an old pair of 5.2's paired with this center channel. Mine sounds great. As long as the receiver has a port for it you should be fine.

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?

The impedance with the high and low range terminals connected in parallel with supplied connectors (recommended default setting) is 8 ohms. The speakers can be driven with an 8 or 4 ohm amplifier. Most receivers are 8 ohms. I am driving them with an amplifier designed for 8 ohm speakers and they sound great. There should sound just as good connected to a 4 ohm amplifier. Basically the impedance of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the minimum rated impedance of the amplifier.

I'm driving 8 ohm speakers without any trouble: Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System (Set of Six, Black)

You should have no issues with hooking up your 6 ohm speakers. We have multiple speakers set up in ourhouse and in my shop. I have two of these units and they work great.

Well I have it pushing four 6.5 component speakers which is four tweeters and four mid range woofers and two 6x9s and it still seems like it has power to spare. I wired the back two doors with the 6x9s making the ohm rating 2. All of my speakers have 4 ohm ratings. That's the important part. This amp can be wired down to two ohms. Basically if you put two 4 ohm speakers on one channel it becomes 2 ohms. I would say you wont have a problem with this thing. I would say wire the 3.5 and tweeters with your front 2 doors and wire the rear doors with the 6x9s.

Once you verify connections are not touching each other, polarities are correct and also done reset to factory settings (see manual). If you still have issue. One more thing to check is what is the your speaker impedance? 4 ohms? 6 ohms? or 8 ohms? This receiver is not intended for 4 ohms speakers. Consider adding external amp. If you are using 6 ohm or 8 ohm speakers. Set speakers impedance by navigating the menu in speakers section. Last option is receiver may be defective need a replacement or need service. Contact marantz service. Based on user feed back, they do not fix anything unless they can replicate the issue. Which may or may not able to replicate it.

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.
