Bronze Member Username: LeonskiPost Number: 44 Registered: Jan-07 | Are there any receivers marketed today that are comfortable with low impedence loads.....5ohm or so? Either Stereo or prefer a HT unit....Will, for example the Denons take it? Sorry, Jan, I know and agree with you about speaker guys and amp guys not talking and AGREE 100%, But I'm 'stuck' with these old Maggies and can't give 'em up! The only thing I've heard that sounds (to me, anyway) as good, are some new Maggies, and I simply can't cough up that much loot, and new electronics, too. |

Unless somebody else chimes in, I guess that's the short list. All are familiar names, except Outlaw which I've heard little about. reading ahead. |

While it is a good receiver, I would reccomend something more along the lines of Rotel, Outlaw, B&K, Adcom, or NAD. There are receivers (like the outlaw) that are certified to drive a 4 ohm load, and will do it with ease. Onkyo also has a stereo receiver certified to drive 4 ohm speakers, but I would recommend going the other route first. The Maggies will bring out all the warts of the Onkyo. |
