Powering nine home speakers
jj91709, Unfortunately, you seem to have no desire or interest in a good quality music reproduction system for your room and, as a result, I find I've lost interest in your system, myself. Just hire a company that installs background music systems in restaurants and businesses and be be done with it. You'll be listening to Yanni 24/7 via glorious mono in no time. Later, Tim |
Hifiman, can I ask how you would recommend wiring the 9th speaker? It seems like I could run 3 in parallel which would be 2.66 ohm. My onkyo amp specs are 8/4/3 ohm. Is the difference significant enough? i also just received a second amp that is 100w x 2 (Yamaha R-S202) which is 8 ohm. I would prefer to keep them in stereo as the layout of the room works well even with the odd speaker due to the seating. |
Since you have the onkyo receiver with 7 channel of power amp, and a stereo amp (Yamaha R-S202), why not make full use of all 9 channel of amplification! Just connect 7 of the ceiling speakers to the onkyo speaker terminals via a/b speaker switcher on each speaker: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/attachments/newbie-audio-engineering-production-question-zone/421582... connect the Yamaha line in to onkyo front R/L out, and use the Yamaha to power two more ceiling speakers. Select Full mono or Neo 6 music playback mode on your onkyo for room filling music listening. |
