Receiver thoughts, and questions...maybe speaker problem?

I am looking into buying a new A/V Receiver....but have noticed that all the power specs for total watts per channel is measured in 8ohms....but my speakers are 6ohms.

My current receiver can be switched between 8ohms or 6ohms.

I am looking to upgrade from my Yamaha HTR-5940...I currently have these speakers (I want to keep em):

Fronts Yamaha NS-555
Center Yamaha NS-333
Rear surrounds Yamaha NS-444
Rear center NS-333

Looking for a good matching receiver.  Also my receiver I have now is 6.1 and barely (if at all) do I watch movies with 6.1, the only thing that comes out of the center rear is when I listen to music.


Thanks,
Jeff

About any receiver will work with your speakers. +/- 2 ohms isn't a problem. If they were 4 ohm speakers, that would be a different story. You'd need a receiver that's 4 ohm certified. So, your speakers should be ok. I'd look at Onkyo and Denon receivers.

If you're going to eventually get a blu ray player, I'd get a 7.1 receiver. It can be set up for 5.1/6.1/7.1 surround. Some blu ray movies have 7.1 soundtracks (Hellboy II and The Golden Compass, to name a couple, and there are more), and more are on the way.
