Hi All,
Question:
I am buying in ceiling speakers to create my 5.1, albeit a 7.2 reciever Sony stdn1060. The L/R/C are PSB Series 5t's with specs of 92db @ 1/1m ~ 6 ohm rated 125 to 250 watts. The sony amp is said to run 165 using 6ohm speaks and 100 using 8ohm's "So they state.."
As I search for the ceilings, I am finding mostly 8ohm two ways. I have found one set of 6 ohm 3 ways however the rating is 89db @ 1/1m. From the reading I am doing, it seems that the db difference is only 3db's however that means the amp needs to feed those roughly 20% more wattage to get them to drive like the PSB's at 92db..
I do not want to have to crank those fronts L/R/C to get the ceilings to "come alive" just 'chasing my tail'.
I do not want the amp to 'protective shut down if they are the only 8 ohm's in the system...However my Subwoofer at the moment is only an 8ohm 80 watter... which being active should not be any draw persey'.
(From what "I think I understand")
I guess I am asking about the 8ohm's coupled with the 6ohm and un matched 8 ohm's Vs. 92db vs 89db rating at 1k@1meter ratings.
