[RF7 ii ohm ?]

Impedance and resistance are (most) only ever the same in a DC circuit.  Sticking a multimeter on the binding posts satisfies that condition since the meter's (almost invariably, unless you've spent near $1k on the instrument and set it accordingly) using DC to derive its measurement.

 

All you did was perform a "go / no go" check and it has little bearing on what the variable impedance vs. frequency ends up being.  To measure impedance over frequency as in the posted chart requires a more elaborate setup.

 

If the AVR of choice is "4 ohm stable", you're surely good to go no matter what. 

 

Actually, I'm surprised at your reading on the HF terminals.  It should read very much higher, if at all...

I did re-check the HF and it slowly went way up.

I understand that a driver's ohm changes as it plays. but if at a rest if they are 3.4 ohms that is it. Most 2,4,8 ohm measured at the driver do not read 2 ohm (1.8)  4 ohm (3.4). and so on.  If the RF7ii read 3.4 ohm I would take it that when I'm comparing AVR or separates amps. It would be best to look at the 4 ohm. This is important to me due to not all amp scale power output the same from 8 to 4 ohm. So if amp A has a good 8 ohm watt output (135w @8  & 160w @4) but amp B has  (125w@ 8 & 180w @4).   This is why knowing  is so important. 

[WTB RC64 ii ash, Also have RC62 and 52 for sale]

So like in the title I'm looking for a RC64 ii in ash or other.  I have a RC62 and RC52  for sale / trade if anyone would like them. 

Kc Mo area.

Yes i have a RC62 and 52.  I'm working on getting a RC64 ii and then will let the 62 go

[RF7 ii ohm ?]

OK so I have been AVR shopping and basing power output as 8ohm  load for the RF7 ii. I got a idea to check the 7's.  So with the plates on the binding posts I get 3.4 ohms. With the plates off I get 4ohm on the HI and 3.4ohm on the lows. What am I missing. They say 8ohm compatible in the specs.  Sorry car audio guy and Bi-amp & inline cross overs are not my norm.    

[Yes another Yamaha rf-7 ii ?]

The other units I was looking at are

Onkyo TX-Rz710 or RX-Z810

INTEGRA DTR-50.3 or 50.4

 

[Yes another Yamaha rf-7 ii ?]

Ok so it's time to ditch the HK 340. My local shop is pushing Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1070 they say it has a fuller sound then the rx-v line and will not sound too bright. I was leaning to the Onkyo/ Integra. I heard about the HDMI issues and the first thing out of the local shop was they dropped the Integra line do to it.  The new AVR will be running RF-7ii  , RC62 , S1 and RF62  

I do not have a sub as of yet.  I will probably buy from accessories4less  looking to stay @ $650 or less at there price not new in store MSRP.  The room is 18x 25 vaulted vaulted ceiling 11ft  

[got a rc52 can i use]

before x-mass i hope

right now i have old 1989 kenwood 3way towers dome tweet 5.25 mid low 12"

i have a harman/kardon 340 with ez eq mic

[got a rc52 can i use]

i thought the 3 fronts were the most importent to be timber matched

and it would be ok to use lesser rear surround speakers

but if i just shot myself in the foot i will take them back

[got a rc52 can i use]

ok well i went to BB and they had a set of S1 new in box for $200 so i got them for the surround of my 5.1

so that will leave me some extra $$ for the RF??

what rf should i get

the room is 18ft x 26ft vaulted ceiling 11ft

[got a rc52 can i use]

hi i bought a rc52 can i use f2 or f3 for fronts
