I thought the 805 had been rated for 4 ohms. I think you'll be fine, as the M80s are supposedly considered a light 4 ohm load, and the new Onkyos supposedly have better amplifiers than in the past. I think the only reason I'd return the 805 is to go to the Denon 3808, which is a little above your $1000 budget.


I tempting to try Denon. Local store Best buy carry 2308 for $900. Let us know about the sound quality/bass performance. I like Harman sound excellent when I paired with my Axiom speakers. It's something in those Harman sound. Wish Harman can build their products close to Onkyo and Denon.

There's only 4 and 6 ohms setting in 805? Default is 6. I should leave it 6?

Leave it on default, I guess. I have no experience with that receiver, but I am surprised that it is built like that.

The 805 manual says to leave it on 6 ohm for speakers from 6 to 16 ohm. Leave it on 6.

I would have figured as you did, 8 ohm being default.

Thank you all. I'll leave it at default.

Just try running it as loudly as you can for a while to see if it shuts down, if it doesn't, then there is no concern, if it does then I would take it back.
