6 Ohm Capable Yamaha Receiver (HTR6260B)

[Diggger]

I don't know too much about receivers / speakers, I just bought a new receiver and new speakers. I was reading about the capable ohms and was wondering if my set-up would be fine.
My receiver has an output of 6 ohm's and my rear speakers also have an output of 6 ohm's but my towers and center has an output of 8 ohm's.
I have read that the receiver and speakers all should have the same output ohm rating but as described, mine does not.
The system sounds great but I am wondering if not having the same ohm rating will damage my receiver / speakers over time?
Thanks

You will be fine, and actually it is recommended to not use the OHM setting on the receivers.

NOTE: Some Receivers have an impedance selector switch. DON'T USE THEM! The manufacturer puts them there for UL approvals as well as easing consumer concerns about driving low impedance loads. These switches step down voltage feed to the power sections which will limit dynamics and overall fidelity. Keep the switch set for 8 ohms regardless of the impedance of your speakers and ensure proper ventilation of the Receiver.

Thanks,
I guess I should look more into my receiver, I only used the auto set-up with the mic, I guess I should look more into it and tweek my system.
