    Rotel RSX-1057 & 4 Ohm SA main & centre speakers

    Hello friends,

    I ordered Rotel RSX-1057 (5 x 75W RMS) A/V receiver and made pre-payment for it. Today I noticed one sentence in user manual, where states "speaker impedance 8 ohm minimum".
    Before that I ordered following speakers of System Audio: 2x SA-1280 main channels (4 ohm!), 1x SA 520 AV centre (4 ohm!), 2x SA talent surround (8 ohm).
    I am big fan of SA(price is quite acceptable for such quality), but they don't have any other 8 Ohm floorstanding speakers. I dont' have large room (3.5mx4m), so I will not load receiver with full power.

    Should I expect any problems or danger to damage Rotel receiver, because loudspeakers impedance don't match receiver specifications?

    Thank you very much for your answers,

    Rob

    It will run a little hotter, but will have no problem powering them.

      Rotel Processor vs Onkyo Receiver
      by whmacs
      Hi All,
      I've had my HT setup for a few years now based around an Onkyo 787 receiver. Due to extensions being completed at my home, in the next few weeks I will be added a projector (infocus 5700) and replacing my existing speakers with Jamo THX D6LCR fronts / centre and D6 SUR for a 7.1 THX setup...

      Also I've read an interesting article:

      "If you hear something of
      an "8 ohm amplifier", then we think usually of 8 ohm speakers.
