Combining 4 ohms with 8 ohms (1 Viewer)

[Jim Williams]

My current setup has a pair of Klipsch KG2 4 ohm speakers with the rest of the speakers (Klipsch KV-2 center, Energy Connoisseur C-1 surrounds) at 8 ohms. Is there a potential problem with this kind of setup?

Is there a potential problem with this kind of setup?

Not that I can tell. Timbre matching and positioning are the only concerns when mixing different speakers.

Impedance does not factor in, as long as the amps can handle it. You, of course, should calibrate and match levels regardless of other factors.

Best regards.

I agree with Jeff. My mains and surrounds are 4ohm my center and rear surrounds are 8ohms.
