AVR300 4 ohm fronts and 8 ohm surrounds
Hi-

I am new to the forum but have always enjoyed the info it has to offer. I have just acquired some Genesis speakers that are 4 ohm for the front and have for now 8 ohm surrounds. With the AVR300 in 4 ohm mode am I ok with the rest of the system?
Also- Is there any experience out the with the Monitor Audio Gold Ref. 20's? I have two AVR300's and am looking for a good pair of Stereo/HT fronts for under $3000 that can fill up a 20'x20' room.

Thanks
Tom

yeap, 4 ohm would be fine in this setup.

on your speakers: you could also try Sonus Faber or B&W.

Intresting... even when most are 8ohm?

My fronts and backs are custom speakers and are rated at 8ohms but they are efficient as hell.. also my centre is odly at 6ohms...
