It’s usually the other way around. Make sure the speaker is bigger enough for the receiver. Your speaker will blow before the receiver. If the speaker can’t hold the power. The only thing is your receiver can get hot but that’s about it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’m not familiar with your receiver but klipsh is a efficient speakers and doesn’t require a huge amount of power
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A rich reserve of amplifier power is always preferable but these speakers are so efficient (97db sensitivity) they can be driven to ridiculous levels with moderate wattage. With 145 watts on tap you will be able to deafen the neighbors. Also note that the 600 watt rating is “peak” power handling rather than “continuous”, which I believe is 150 watts.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can probably get away with 6 ohms @ 145W. Wiring and impedance tends to gets tricky, and is most overlooked. I am no "Pro." Yet, if it's rated at 6 ohms, you will most likely get less power at 8 ohms. However, I would go with matched. I recommend a Yamaha 8 Ohm rated receiver. Especially, the Aventage series. No. I do not work for Yamaha. I have been running Yamaha for many for years. These amps are as warm, and inexpensive as digital gets. Klipsch speakers are extremely efficient. From experience, I would dump the money into a lower rated (8 ohm) receiver, drop your cash into wiring, plugs, and watch your speakers sing! This exactly what I'm running, and happy to hear every time I watch or listen. IMHO....the best match on a budget. However, you can probably run these off of your Sony. Good Luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should be fine, they only got 150 continuous, just won’t be able to push the speakers to the max volume they can provide.
