bruenjilly Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm green to the world just getting started on the Klipsch Kick. I have a yamaha natural sound receiver htr-5250 it has 4-6-8 ohms capability a and b speaker buttons. Dose anyone know if I can play 4 and 6 ohms speakers together with this amp. I have look up the website for my amp but it still makes no since to me. Da! I have kg4 6ohms and kg4.2 speakers would like to play them both with some type of configuration. If anyone knows anything I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Welcome to the forum! I am not familiar with that particular receiver, but I would guess you would be able to run all of the speakers at 6 ohms. You should not run a 6 ohm speaker with 8 ohms, but you can run a 8 ohm speaker with 6. Please chime in if I am mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrazek Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You may be able to do it, but that is not a very powerful amp. In general, when you run speakers below 8 ohms you want something that has some grunt. Running a 6 and 4 ohm speaker off that Yamaha is likely to tax it, especially if you like higher volumes. The outcome could be anything between reduced sound quality and clipping the amp which could damage the speakers. Not trying to scare you, but with this amp I would be a little careful if you like it really loud. An NAD or Denon receiver would probably be a better bet if you do. YMMV.

bruenjilly Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 basically your saying it is ok to play 8's on 6ohms but not 6ohms on 8ohms My receiver has a switch in the back for 4 6 8 . Next question Will it hurt the 8ohm speaker kg 4.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
