[QUOTE="alphabet, post: 64265, member: 11"] My apologies if I oversimplified your question. To me it is an issue that with many(of not most) entry-level AVRs so many corners are cut to bring production costs down, that the manufacturers have include a silly thing such as a 4 Ohm - 8 Ohm switch. The mere fact that there is such a switch confuse people and it can potentially become an issue to them. The best advice thus far is that of dotVibe to leave the switch on 8 Ohm and just enjoy your setup. Neil also has a valid point. You are quite right that clipping is not good for speakers, specifically your tweeters, but I am sure the AVR will give up before your speakers does. Now experiment and use your ears to find out what you enjoy ;) Then experiment with speaker placement and enjou even more ;D [/QUOTE]
