I am "re-speakerizing" my 5.1 HT system and I need a temporary center channel until I can save enough money for what I really want. There is a center channel I'm considering that is 4 ohms. My other speakers (bookshelves) are 8 ohms and they'll be powered by a Pioneer Elite 52TX receiver. I play movies below reference volume levels. Should I be concerned about a 4 ohm center channel in this configuration?

Thanks.

    If your receiver can specify the loads for each individual channel, yes you can do it.
    I know from my experience on AVRs that there is one setting 4 to 8ohms to specify for all speakers.
    Or you can have powered by an amp.
