Greetings,
I have a JVC RX 6042 receiver for the time being. It is rated at 100W X 5 at 8 ohms. I was looking at some 6 ohm rated speakers (the Monitor Audio B6 Bronze) in particular. I was wondering if I would have any problems driving these speakers with this receiver. Do any of you have any experience or educated guesses on this one?
All the best,
Jordan

Can't say for sure, but most likely you would be fine. Most receivers have no issues with driving 8 or 6 ohm speakers at the same time. Take a look at the Axiom Qs8's or VP150, they are both 6 ohm designs and many of us drive them with 8ohm mains with a variety of brand AVR's. The 80's are a different story.

It's never a givin if your receiver can handle the Monitor Audio B6 Bronze or not. If you can get a hold of an impedence graph for them that should give you a good idea.

I agree with your comments. I was a little concerned that my new Onkyo would have "issues" driving my M80s, but was/ am plannig on getting seperate amps, so this was not a factor in the purchase of the Onkyo.
Thus far, I have had NO issues driving the M80s at however loud for however long that I want. Maybe I'm just lucky or maybe my Onkyo is just one of the good ones or maybe its amp design has been improved. I don't know but I sure am pleased with the Onkyo.
