Bose AM7 speaker impedance? (1 Viewer)

[EdKBecker]

I noticed that the Pioneer VSX D912K says to use speakers with 8ohms impedance.

I have an inherited set of Bose AM7s--does anybody know if they are compatible?

Thanks in advance.

I dunno if bose publishes much in the line of real specs for their products, so it might be tough to get a staright answer. My best guess is the speakers are 8ohm, maybe 6- either way you should be okay. A quick we search showed 8ohm rating for the Acoustimass 7 to be the most commonly touted spec...

Keep a close eye on the pioneer-- see if it seems to be getting excessively hot. If it does, then reconsider your speaker choice.

Do you have the full system with the bass module thing, or just the satellites?

I inherited the 3 double cubes (L,C,R)and bass module. To that I've added Cambridge Soundworks di-pole rears and a Definitive Technology powered 15" sub.

Thanks for your input BTW.

I know the original series AM 5's were 4ohm. (Don't ask how I know :b ) I don't know if they've changed since then or not.
