4 ohm speakers too much for old school receiver?

[Tarheel_]

Dang...i was afraid the little receiver that could..could not.

I've had this receiver since 1987 and have a lot of memories with it. Not wanting to upgrade the equipment. This system is just for background music. i'll keep an eye open for something else.

side note: I leaned on my neighbor and he and I installed a Klipsch 5.1 system and he loves it, but they are not my (listening) style. Good suggestion though!

You had said: "Volume will range much and it's in a very large room with vaulted ceiling."

Now you are saying "background music." For background levels and maybe a bit more, the old receiver should be OK. Can you try it out with the speakers and see just what it will do?

to be clear...the Technics receiver now is hooked to a speaker selector and plays in wall speakers in multiple rooms and on the deck. Volume is limited because the Tech. cannot handle it...if i were to add full monitors i want the volume to increase...thus, the need to find a suitable speaker to compliment my needs.\

in other words, i want to add a pair of speakers with bass to my living room and have the ability to power speakers in other rooms...not at the same time though.
