Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater My Axiom's are on the way...

I have a question though. I have a Yamaha RX-V595 driving everything. It is rated at 70w/channel at 8ohms.

Will I be ok with these Axioms:
M2ti (fronts)
VP150 (center)
QS8 (rears)

All these will be set to small so that the HSU will handle 80Hz and below.

I either neglected it or didn't think anything of the fact that 2 pairs of the speakers I ordered are rated at 6ohms. My tendency is to rarely listen to reference levels.

Will I have any issues? Anyone use a similiar setup with a moderately powered (albeit very good) amp like this?

You shouldn't have any problems.

Let us know your thoughts when you get them all set up.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the quick (and positive) response!

Being a somewhat "newbie" I continued to do some more searches through both this message board and the one at AVS.

Should I set the impedence selector on the back to the "4 ohm" setting or leave it at the default "8 ohm" setting?

(here is the info from the manual:
setting a: mains, each speaker > 4ohms
center, > 6ohms
rear, each speaker > 6ohms

setting b: mains, each speaker > 8ohms
center, > 8ohms
rear, each speaker > 8ohms

After my searching, this has been posted to death. Just would make me feel more confident if my situation is diagnosed -- especially after I read a bit from Alan specifically critiquing Yamaha's designs. Ugh.

leave it set on the 8 ohm. if you select 4 ohms it will likely switch on a current limiting system that will likely degrade the sound. If you experience the reciever shutting down (not likely) then try switching it to 4 ohm but i HIGHLY doubt you will need to do that.

Nik, as Brandon suggested, leave it at 8 ohms, regardless of the manual. Since using a lower setting has the effect of limiting the voltage and therefore the power which is available, use it only as a last resort in the unlikely circumstance that the receiver keeps shutting off.

I just pulled the trigger on my new axioms also and their on the way =) i'm soo excited hehe
I'm running a H/K AVR630 which is similary rated and have heard from many people that should be no prob so i wouldnt worry.
Ordered me some M60ti's and a VP150 ..i'll be gettin the surrounds a lil later on
these are going with a SVS 25-31 PCi

awsome
when you first open up the svs you are going to be a little surprised at its size
but it should sound great!!!

ditto that. SVS subs are beasts!

I'm thinking I might have to take them all out of the boxes before i'll be able to get them inside my house hehe ugh thats gonna suck lol

i hope you live in a nice neighborhood.
