My Marantz is the 5007 (fairly new). I think it slowly picks up volume as you get up around 6ish. I don't recall, but I think it gave me a choice to set the dial to decibels or 1-10.

I guess my question now, is whether the HP or not the HP version of the speakers?
Are the 6ohm speakers as good as the 8ohm version? If so, I'll go with the 6ohm. I'm assuming they will sound good with my Marantz, and probably really good with my Sansui receivers. I will likely get an Emotiva amp next month on my trip down to the States, so that will ensure really solid sound.

Trying to reinforce my decision to go with the 6ohm over the 8ohm version, lol. Any advice is welcome.
