    [SOLVED] Can I use 8 ohm speakers on a 4 ohm receiver?

    Don't run lower ohm speaker than your reciever. You technically can just don't push the amp hard ,think of the speaker as the brakes. A 4 ohm speaker doesn't slow down the amp enough it can burn it out. An 8 ohm load will give the anp th resistance it needs.

    Thought the Sony rt3 was an avr. My setup is in my livingroom pc is built in a custom case made from an old denon reciever . Fed into an onkyo 5.2 reciever. Video to a 58 inch 4k hdr tv. Play on my couch with a steam controller. The 5.2 system with 2- 12 inch subs shakes the house.

    Use the arc channel hdmi or you may have hdcp and hdr issues if you pass through the reciever. Arc ttohdmi to arc output on avr. Pc and any other device to a separate hdmi port on tv. Turn arc on on the TV and the receiver, look in the manual for what input to set the reciever to mine is tv.

    You have two choices depending on quality of sound . An set of self amplified pc speakers or running an external amp and a decent set of speakers. Hifi is a thing and people don't realize how good music can sound through a good setup.
