Doubtful. In parallel, you're presenting just below a 3.5 ohm load to your receiver. You'll cook your receiver and also, without crossovers, you'll have poor control over the frequency range of each speaker. The formula for wiring in parallel is (ohm A x ohm B) / (ohm A + ohm B). (6 x 8) / (6 + 8) = 3.429 ohms - no bueno for your receiver.

Please take note that matching speakers and subwoofer with lower impedance (ohms) and watts than what the A/V receiver is rated may cause damage to the receiver and is not recommended. At first listen, these new Core Series speakers will make your favorite audio tracks unfold throughout your listening environment, thanks to precise instrument reproduction, positioning, and even depth relative to an expansive soundstage. Hope this helps. ~Earl
