Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners VP150 help - 6 Ohm or 8 Ohm setting on RX-V1400 ?

Hi All,

I havent posted here since a very, very long time. Have been a happy user of Axiom M22's and M60's since more than 2 years.

I just got my VP150 to replace a 14-year old centre speaker. I have a Yamaha RX-V1400 receiver. All my speakers were 8 Ohm speaker so it was a no-brainer to set the impedance at 8 Ohms.

This receiver allows you to select either 'Min. 6 Ohms' or 'Min. 8 Ohms'. I am not even sure if that applies only to the front speakers only or other speakers too.

So what do I do now that I have a 6 Ohm VP150 as my centre ? Should I stick with 'Min. 8 Ohm' setting or change to 'Min. 6 Ohm' ?

I looked at the manual but couldnt find a clear answer.

Any suggestions ? Thanks for your help

Cheers
Mahesh
