|   Matching impedance | entrope
Nov 28, 2001 11:21 AM | | I have a chance to upgrade to new mains that are 4 ohm. The other speakers in my surround system are 8 ohm - all powered from a 5 channel Parasound amp.
Will using 4 ohm mains and 8 ohm surround and center cause a problem for the amp? |

Remember that a 8ohm speaker demand a little mor power to give the same db sound as an 4 ohm speaker (This has notting to do with the quality on the sound), so you may need tho adjust the level of the rear and front speaker somewath different. |

Nov 28, 2001 9:31 PM | | I have similar question but
Can I do the inverse to what you say, meaning I will put two 8-Ohm speakers in L+R front and other 4 Ohm as surround L+R
The reason is my 8 Ohm speakers have better sound quality than the 4Ohm
Thanks for advices |
