It's the speakers that decide this not the receiver. Your Elite doesn't care what ohm the speakers are.If it has an ohm switch make sure to leave it set at 8 ohm and you'll be fine.
Ok I understand now , thankyou

No, Bob; it doesn't care what the impedance is. What it cares about is how much voltage and current it has to output. Some speakers rated at 4 ohms(e.g., the M80s)are more sensitive than some speakers rated at 8 ohms and require less power and current at a given sound level.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Paradigm Studio 60's - Sweet!!! Those are nice sounding speakers. Thanks Like I said im enjoying the hec out of them and they've opened up a whole new avenue or meaning to watching and listening to music.I really like the Axiom m80's to and heard good things about them. They might be my next Speaker when I build another system down the road but my digms are definitely keepers too.

I seem to keep seeing this same line that an amp doesn't care what ohms the speakers are. The amp certainly does care and is the reason why some amps overheat and shut down. Yes. The amp does care what ohms the speakers are.
Thanks Bob I appreciate your opinion and input .

btw I NEVER said any particular amp could or couldn't handle any particular situation. What I said is that a given amp does care what impedance it is seeing. If it didn't care than you would never had any problems with a mismatch. Some amps are more sensitive to this issue than others. Just like high end audio, the PA amps have the same problems with overheating and shutdowns with having a wrong load on them. These amp ratings are given for a reason. Just because an amp doesn't shut down doesn't necessarily mean that it is a proper match.
I am also convinced by so many that are actually doing this, that it seems to be working without any problems for some. I am not worried with my situation of a Denon2309 with the M80's for 2 reasons. So many here use Denons without a problem AND I spoke to Denon Tech Support 2 weeks ago that told me that it shouldn't be an issue. If anyone has any concerns it might be best to call the Tech Support of your amp to have a technical question answered. But giving a pat answer that an amp doens't care what it sees doesn't seem to be the responsible answer to give.

I said his "Elite" doesn't care and it doesn't. It is a very capable receiver and could run M80s if he would choose to do so.
Dont tempt me : ) just what I need is to know I can lol
