Hello everyone,
a while back I posted some questions about some ceiling speakers I acquired. They are commercial IC-6t model 6 inch 70v or 16 ohm speakers. My problem is that when these speakers were removed from a retail outlet they were very loud and had plenty of bass. However for some reason when connected in bypass mode to a 220w pioneer reciever they sound weak and distort at low volume and have no bass at all. The woofers barely move, I'm starting to think the amp does not like the 16ohm aspect.
I want to get these speakers sounding good, I would have expected that my current amp was ok, since it powered my old 8ohm 12 inch speakers just fine. However I am starting to think I will need to invest in a 70v system, or change out the 16 ohm speakers for a 8 ohm set of speakers.
I have them set up so there is 2 speakers per channel.

does anyone have any ideas for me to try prior to buying a new amp/reciever?
