Got a new reciever, suddenly realize I need new speakers. P.S. I'm an idiot.

I'm nervous about getting smaller ones, space efficient as they may be, since no one seems to be recommending them. Also, are 8ohm speakers alright for a 6ohm receiver?

Thanks!

dont worry to much about ohm rating until youre talking about a 4 ohm nominal speaker, those can, but not always stress a receiver; would depend on how power hungry the speakers are. it would also depend on how long the speakers operate in that low of a range, but most speakers all have dips into the lower ohm levels so receivers can fluctuate with them.
