I dont see where is says thats into 8ohm. Ill look again though. I have read reviews on these entry level Yamaha recievers and people have said that they sound realy great. I think im going to go wit the <A HREF="http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/HTIB/HTR5760.htm" target="_new"> 5760 </A>any how because it does a bit more and is a bit more future proof for other things. I have never seen any complaints against these for bad sound or shooty internal amp. Lets hope Im right. And not to mention "cheap" is they way I have to go.

The prices on the market for these things are way below the listed MSPR! Looks like this could work out.

Ok I read the manuel. Seems as if this reciever only supports down to 6ohms. I would feel comfortable with 4... I think Ill look for a new entry level one. Or I could buy a seperate amplifier. But I dont know where to start looking.

I find the local used/new stereo store is the best. Look in the Yellowpages. They know what they are doing and fans of the hobby. You can get some consumer grade stereo stuff cheap and at least hear it before buying. The other thing is that if you buy an amp for 200.00, it will still retain its value for a year then you can trade up.

It looks good for the price. I just buy separates becuase I can upgrade a piece at a time like a computer. You should be ok with 6 ohms. Most consumer/normal grade speakers are 8 ohms.

It depends on your budget, but I would look at used HiFi stereo stores. Best thing is to walk in, tell them what you want and your budget. Then they will show you around.
