    Impedance too low for my reciever?

    Hello,

    I need a nice pair of main left and right speakers for a small mini-home theater I am building. I would rather build a set than buy new.

    I have decided to build one of the many MTM projects I have found on the internet, but I am not sure which ones have a high enough impedance to suit my reciever.

    The reciever manual says speakers must be 8 ohms or greater.

    The projects I am considering building are:

    I know the parts express project says nominal impedance is 4 ohms so I guess that one is out of the question. How can I find the impedance of the other two projects?

    Thanks!

      Rotel RB-1070 Minimum Impedance in MONO Mode
      by specialized
      Hi there.. I'm ordering B&W 803S speakers, powered by Rotel 1080.
      As Pre/Pro i'm using Denon 3808 reciever, so for the front speakers power make RB-1080 (which is very nice and for the price is best at my opinion).

      I'm thinking how to power B&W HTM3s center speaker and...

      N802's: 4 ohms or 8 ohms? - B&W's recommendation
      by McGlentosh
      I've read so much info and advice regarding which taps to use when connecting N802, in this and other forums, that my head was spinning, so I e-mailed B&W to get their recommendation, as follows:

      RSX 1055 vs. NAD at 4 ohms
      by jr62
      I recently bought a set of Totem speakers (Arros at the front, Mite-T at center, and Dreamcatchers for surrounds), all of which have a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. I'm inclined to purchase the RSX 1055, however, I'm worried about the back panel's suggestion of an 8 ohm minimum for speakers. Does this...
