First of all, hi all, this is an awesome forum, I've been reading away for a few hours 
My setup:
Sony STR-V555ES (it has A+B front speakers...)
B&W DM604s2 nominal impedence 8ohm
B&W DM600s3 nominal impedence 8ohm
B&W LCR600s3 nominal impedence 8ohm
B&W ASW675
My question:
Now, the amp has 2 impedence options. 4ohm and 8ohm. I'm not sure which one to use....
here's why.
From the v555es manual...
Now, I've used the A+B jacks to bi-wire the 604s.
So it does seem fine... the speakers are 8ohm, the jacks require 8ohm if they, (A+B), are both to be switched on...
but now do I have to set the amp to 4ohm??? it sortof seems that way... but I'm not using 2 sets of speakers, which is what the manual was assuming i think.
So which impedance is more appropriate?
cheers for any feedback

From the v555es manual...
To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front, centre, and rear speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher and set the speaker IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to "8ohms." Check the instruction manual supplied with your speakers if you're not sure of thie impedance.
You may connect a pair of speakers with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to all of the speaker terminals. However, even if one speaker within this range is connected, set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to "4ohms."
Notes
-Be sure to turn off the power when changing the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.
-Be sure to connect front speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher if you want to select both sets (A+B) of front speakers. In this case, set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to "4ohms." Do not set the SPEAKER selector to A+B if you connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 to 8 ohms to either Front A or B jacks.
