Can i use8 ohm AND 16 ohm speakers at the same time? If so, which would be the better for the fronts? null

You could, but don't be suprised when the 16 ohm speakers play at half the volume of the 8 ohm ones. For this reason I would hook the 8 ohm speakers up in front.

Hi JoelH,

Thank you for the inquiry! When matching speakers and Audio/Video (A/V) receivers, the ohm rating of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the ohm rating of the receiver to avoid a risk of hardware damage.

Any speakers that feature bare wire connection will work to this receiver, as long as their impedances are from 6 to 16 ohms.

Regards,
David
