Jesse, it's because we all love our Sony OLEDs so much, we want to share the joy!

DUDE, you should be in the negative noise area with the multiple multiple noise reduction appliances. Soon it will make the music so quite you'll hear no music at all....

Re: SDA 1A What to do now?
For practical purposes, your receiver does not "have" ohms. It is rated to DRIVE (power) a range of loads measured in ohms.twnandcntry wrote: »How do I tell how many ohm my receiver is.
The most-common FTC spec is "maximum continuous Watts into an 8-ohm load at a given THD"; sometimes there's a spec for max Watts continuous into a 4-ohm load, usually at a somewhat higher THD. Because the nature of receivers is to be cost-cut, and lower-ohm loads require more copper, more iron, and more capacitance in the power supply than 8-plus ohm loads, low-ohm loads (under 6 ohms, more-or-less) are--generally speaking--outside the comfort zone of most receivers. Either the watts goes down, or the distortion goes up, or in extreme cases, the smoke comes out.
Capacitance and inductance of the load matters, also...but there's no standardized spec for those, and it's not like the speaker manufacturer is likely to tell you that anyway.
If your receiver does not have an FTC spec for 4-ohm loads (which is likely but not guaranteed)...start looking for a more-suitable amplifier/integrated amp, or--maybe--a just-plain-better receiver.

Bought the 77 Sony OLED a year ago and I love the performance. Costco with the free two year warranty and part of the deal was another three year’s warranty added onto the original two. Good luck. D
