Hi,
Just recently purchased Model 10a's and want to pair them with the Polk RTA-8T's as my 4 front speakers using a Sony STR-DE845 receiver. I wanted to ask should I run these as 8ohms or 4ohms? I have switch on the back of the receiver that let's me choose but I am not sure of any damage or sound loss if I chose either one.

Really do like these vintage Polk's!

Thanks

    Thanks. I normally dont' use 4 mains but for some reason these compliment each other very much. The 10a's have nice bass and midrange while the RTA 8's are more open and detailed.

    To me the soundstage is nice but any suggestions are appreciated.
