Would it be possible to run a 6 ohm speaker on an 8 ohm amp? There would only be one speaker (center in home cinema) and the speaker is made by Yamaha, and the amp is a quite cheap JVC.
Thanks for any help

I agree with sreten. Connecting an amplifier rated for an 8-ohm load to a 6-ohm speaker should be just fine. I wouldn't worry until I dip below 4-ohm loads.
Hi,
You don't have an 8 Ohm amp...
What you have is an amplifier with a power rating into a given load, often measured as 8 or four Ohm.
A transistor amp with a given power rating for an 8 Ohm load will produce slightly more power into a 6 or 4 Ohm load and so on.
Lemme guess, this is one of these TXxxx range hometheatre amps from JVC?
Cheers,😉

Yeah it is a JVC home theatre amp from the TX range. Very cheap @ £99 and it has loads of features for the price. I am looking to upgrade soon. Are those JVC ones not very good then!

Many of these budget HT amps specified for 8 ohms actually put out less power into 4 ohms.
