Sony Receiver / Yamaha Speakers? help!

[royphil345]

The amps on the current Sony receivers are especially prone to problems (damage) using speakers that are not 8ohm or are harder to drive.

I decided that I had better get 8ohm speakers. Yamaha said to check with Sony. Sony said to use 8-16 ohm. Now i am looking at Fluance speakers. They seem to have good reviews and they are 8ohm. Also they seem really inexpensive.

You won't get much support for Fluance speakers here. But in general the advice you will receive is very sound. That said, I do have a pair of Fluance surrounds that I am very happy with. Understand I am not the most discriminating listener. For the most part you get what you pay for. Still there are bargains to be had.
