AV Receiver that deals with 6ohm speakers

ive just seen the marantz gear can deal w/ 6ohm but not in biwire settings and the Cambridge Audio receiver does 4 to 8...
can anybody comment on their sound quality w/ music? i dont like the music too soft i like it a bit foward.

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.

Yamaha RX-V671 is a very nice unit.

Once again, Stereophile confirms (excerpt from link, above);

Its impedance (fig.1) remains above 6 ohms for almost the entire audioband, with a minimum value of 4.5 ohms at 165Hz. As well as being usefully sensitive, the RS6 is also an easy load for the amplifier to drive: textbook requirements for a speaker that will be used with inexpensive amplification.

NAD may want to cover their ass with the 8 ohm warning, but it's almost impossible to believe that this speaker will stress the power amp in the NAD. I'm sure that there are examples of (nominal) 8 ohm speakers out there that will be tougher to drive than these.

If NAD has a reason to “CYA”, then it’s only true with a few of their products. Most of the A/V receivers are rated for a minimum of 4 ohms. Looks like the amp stage is NOT the same for all of their receivers.

Stereophile link is for the RS6, and speaker in question is the RX6. As stated previously, the RX6 drops to 3.9 ohms/nominal 6 ohms. Then add the RX Centre with 3.0 ohms minimum/nominal 5 ohms for home theater, and the T748’s reliability is compromised.

Disagreeing with a manufacturer’s recommendation is just asking for trouble.
