Hi everyone,
I am currently using a Denon AV receiver that has 50watts/channel for 8ohms with a pair of Polk Monitor for the front, and a pair of Boston Acoustic in the rear. They works fine. But I want to slowly upgrade my system in the next 6 mos to a year.
Thus, I recently purchase a pair of Infinity Kappa 600. They are 6ohms speakers. Last week, I removed the Polk and replaced them with the Infinity Kappa. The first impression is that the sound is worst than the Polk. But I realized that the receiver does not have enough power to drive these new pair. The speaker connecting on the receiver indicates the range between 6-8ohms.
The question I have is what kind of AV receiver should I be looking for to replace that one I have. I talked to a friend and he said that I have to find an AV receiver that is decidate for 6 ohms only in order to get great result. Even though, I really like to listen to music, but I am going to build this new system HT also.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
