I also find it hard to believe NAD, considering their reputation, cant handle a 6 ohm load, however, the back of the T 748 and its owners manual state, 8 ohm minimum. Sounds like the guys at Crutchfield are well informed. Im thinking different A/V receiver or speakers, unless someone at NAD thinks its OK.
AV Receiver that deals with 6ohm speakers
im fancying a pair of monitor audio RX6 speakers 6ohms for a home theatre im building downstairs... now i get to choose an amp and i cant find one that deals with anything below 8ohms..
i liked the NAD T748 and i wrote crutchfield and they said the NAD will only deal with 8ohms period unless i want to upgrade to an external amp to power the speakers.... that is an option im considering but i dont have the money "right now " to deal with....
any other receivers worthy of 2 Channel Audio also that deal w/ 6ohm speakers?

Look up the owners manuals(usually available from their website) to any you're considering. Then see what their manual says. If they have a picture of the receiver in the manual, look at the ohm rating printed on its (receiver) back by the speaker output terminals. That NAD you mentioned does say 8 ohms minumin on it the back of it. This may save you some time and headaches. |
A couple of years ago, I may have said to give it a try. But anymore, there have been a lot of complaints about newer receivers shutting down. They do have a lower ohms dip. Stereophile did a review on these speakers, and HERE is a link for their test results if anyone wants to see it. |
