I just purchased an LSiC center speaker. I now see that it is a 4 ohm speaker. My receiver, a Yamaha RX-V795, has an impedance switch to go between 8 ohms and 6 ohms. It can handle 4 ohms on the main L/R, but says the center speaker must be 6 ohms or higher.
How big and issue is this? What problems or weaknesses will I notice? Do I need to return the speaker? Can I cause damage to the receiver or speaker?
My other speakers are a pair of FXi30s for surround, a sub woofer (sorry not Polk), and an old set of Polk RM satellite/sub (passive sub) for the front. I know the system is not balanced with the RMs and LSiC, but I am upgrading over time.
Any advice will help.
