So Ive been looking for a long time to match my black dynaudio audience 70s with a center channel. Now I finally found a used one on ebay.
Do you think my Pioneer 21txh would be ok powering that 1 4 ohm speaker? I currently only have a 2 channel amp that is powering my 70s.

    It can but get a multichannel amp. The amp section in the 21 is not designed to handle 4 ohm loads. Some older Audience center channel are 6 ohms which will be fine. Check the back of the Center and see what ohm rating it is , it's 4 or 6 ohms.

    Thanks mantis. I just checked the dynaudio site and it is a 6 ohm load. So I guess the pioneer will be able to handle it.

    Well I just won the ebay auction for $290 shipped. I feel like I got a good deal considering how hard it was to find a matching center channel to my black dyn 70s.
    Stay tuned till I receive it!
