“If I connect two 8 ohm speakers to channel A and two 8 ohm speakers to channel B, what ohm load will each channel see? In other words I'm confused since it says 8 ohms per channel minimum. If I connect two 8 ohm speakers to each channel, won't that reduce the load to 4 ohms per channel?”

The amp will drive either set okay or all four speakers if both A and B are selected.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.go with what they said if they needed 16 to get to 8 they would have said min = 16 they figured in the ohm load needed so dont overthink this and try to outguess them
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, thank you for your message. Ohms is a rating that refers to the restriction of power, or impedance. The higher the ohm rating, the more impedance is applied to the flow of power. Most home receivers and speakers are rated 4, 6 or 8 ohms. The exact rating can be found on the unit. When matching speakers and Audio/Video (A/V) receivers, the ohm rating of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the ohm rating of the receiver. NOTE: Some receivers have an impedance range, others may have an impedance switch. The switch may allow lower impedance speakers to be connected without harm to the receiver as long as the switch is set to the correct impedance. Powerful Hi-Fi performance (135W x 2 @ 8ohm, 1kHz.
