I have an Onkyo TX-DS777 receiver and I was wondering if it will handle 4 ohm speakers? Do any of you have any experience driving 4 ohm speakers with this unit (or a similar Onkyo unit)?
The reason I ask is, I'm interested in building a set of Adire Audio Kit281 speakers but they are a 4 ohm design. I have seen the Web site of someone that built a set of these speakers and he is driving them with a TX-DS696 Onkyo receiver. Is there much of a difference between my reciever and that one? Does the '696 have the 4/8 ohm switch?
I do currently have a JBL truck box speaker connected to this receiver for the center channel (stop laughing) and I imagine that it's a 4 ohm speaker. I don't appear to be having any problems after having it connected for over a year but I guess having five 4 ohm speakers would create a greater strain on the amplifier transisters than just one.
Thank you.
