[QUOTE="ynotamil, post: 64251, member: 972"] It looks like that for you it is a too basic question, but for me it is a big mystery: how can the AVR be damaged if one sets it with a wrong impedance? Against the comment of dotVIBE above: ""If set to 4ohms your receiver will actually lower it's power output to protect itself from clipping...."" I am more confused: isn't clipping a problem for the speakers? How does the AVR damage itself if it goes into clipping? Isn't his further comment: "" .............while at 8ohm you will get the full capabilities of the amps."" contradict himself and the general recommendation of this thread, in advising me to go to a higher setting? Sorry to take you back to basics, but my knowledge in this field is close to zero. Tony [/QUOTE]
