I am checking out the Rotel SRX-1056 and the manual and the back of the unit says 8Ohm speakers or higher. What would happen if I hooked up 6 Ohm speakers. In particular, Axiom M60's I am considering are 8 Ohm, but VP150 center is 6 Ohm. Or I am considering Rocket's RS750, which are rated 6 Ohms as well. Does it mean that I cannot efficiently use SRX-1056 for these speakers and would need a separate amp for Rockets or for VP150 center and maybe surrounds, which are also rated 6 Ohms?

Hi,
The 6 ohms mentioned is only an avarage over the 20 - 20.000 hz freq. band. The actual impedance can be as high as 40 ohms (mostly on the resonance frq. of the drivers) and as low as 2 ohms (on the tuning freq. of the bass reflex port). This happens on 4, 6 or 8 ohms speakers.
Rotels power supplies and amplifiers are designed to cope with high and low impedance speakers. So it should be no problem to drive a 6 ohm speaker. Later you can always upgrade to a RB-1070 to drive the front channels.Marantz AV8802, Marantz UD8002, Rotel RB-991 and RB985mkii, Rotel RD960
