I have a receiver that the majority of the speaker outputs are labelled 8-16 ohms. The speakers that I use at the moment are 8 ohms.
However, I'm looking at some new speakers of which the technical spec. says they are 4-8ohms. Now I would have thought they were either 4 or they are 8 ohms.
Anyway, supposing they were actually 4 ohms, what would the effect be off wiring these up to a receiver that is labelled 8-16ohms ?
I've always been told, and the manuals always say the same thing. DON'T DO IT, YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR EQUIPMENT !!!
However, what is the actual effect ?
And if a speaker maker says 4 - 8 ohms, would you consider that safe to use on a receiver that says 8 - 16 ohms ?
Thanks in advance.
