I am building a new HT starting with a HK AVR 435 I also have a pair of LC60 for the rear. I was thinking of a pair of Rrti10 for the front but I see the lc are 4 ohm. will this create a problem? And are the lsi's to much for my reciever.

    Welcome to the forum

    HK's are pretty decent receivers. There's no argument that that get an external amp would boost the sound quality, but you could do far worst than that avr. That HK has preamp outs which is great, so if you wanted to, you could go grab a decent multichannel amplifier and hook it up to your HK and purchase whatever speakers you feel like and juice them the way the should be.

    If you want to grab a pair of Rti10's, sure, go for it. You might have some issues matching sonic signatures, but it certainly could be worst. The HK should be able to drive them, just not to very high volumes and you might get some compression on some of the more dynamic scenes.

    If that doesn't scare you off, go for it. If you want to grab LSi's, go for it. They'll be driven, not to their full potential, but reasonably well and when you finally have the clams to pick up an amplifier, you will be well rewarded.
    Lovin that music year after year.
