4ohm and 8ohm


Hi!

So, I'm still a newB here - you'll see by my question ))
please bare with me:

I have a pair of B&W 602 S3 that I use for the fronts. Their specs say they are 8ohm speakers. I have them connected to a Marantz home theater amp via bi-wired cables.

I have a KEF center channel that I borrowed from a friend of mine and am trying to hook it up, but it says it is a 4ohm speaker and I am basically wondering how to connect it to my marantz wo breaking anything. Any advice?

Is the Marantz rated for 4ohm operation? If so, you'll be fine. You may have to adjust the gain levels though. Sometimes reversing the + and - leads helps also. But to get the best surround sound, the speakers really should be timbre matched.
