4ohm speakers to 6ohm-16ohm AV receiver

[carnby77]

Hi just bought a receiver at a good price.
ONKYO TX-SR333.

I have only 4 ohm speakers with me.
an i use them safely without damaging my Receiver?

I want to set it up by today.

Thanks in advance.

Since Onkyo does give dynamic power specs for that receiver into 3, 4 and 8 ohms for the front speakers you should be OK. If you are using them as rears I would call them.

The amount of actual power you get continuously will be less but still be adequate. The receiver might run warm so make sure it is well ventilated.
