Connecting receiver, volume control and speakers

Jane Public New member Username: Listener Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-07	Posted on Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - 02:10 GMT I have a Sony STR-DA2000ES Receiver (8ohms), an in-wall volume control(VS160 impedance matching by speakercraft) and a set of Bose 161 speakers, rated 4-8ohms. I'm stressing about 4ohms vs 8ohms, setting switches in the receiver and/or the volume control and frying my receiver .. Obviously I have speaker cable running from the receiver to the volume control and from the volume control to the speakers. I think I'm good to go just connecting everyone and powering up but..... Is there an audiomesiter out there that might confirm? Please. Pretty please. Many thanks.

You asked for the advise, and received the best possible advise, to protect all of the parts, and work from there. You can monkey around from there, but making it work first seems to be what you wanted. Ja?

Jane Public New member Username: Listener Post Number: 3 Registered: Jun-07	Posted on Thursday, June 28, 2007 - 15:53 GMT It's a waste of time to engage people who behave asthough their suggestions are somehow above reproach and should not be questioned... Nuck.
Jan Vigne Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigne Dallas, TX Post Number: 10726 Registered: May-04	Posted on Thursday, June 28, 2007 - 16:29 GMT . Right back at ya, Janey. It's a waste of time to answer questions for people who don't want information. Obfuscation is the rat hole where fools go to hide. Please don't come back, Janey. .

Jim Bob Jones Silver Member Username: Alright_boy Post Number: 292 Registered: Jan-07	Posted on Tuesday, July 03, 2007 - 15:25 GMT Yep, Jane is wise and perceptive. Although one does not have to be especially perspicacious to realize that Jan is an idiot.
