Please log in for more thread options Help me please... I have a 8 ohm Home Theater receiver (5.1 Dolby Digital) connected to 'two front' 6 ohm floor style speakers and remaining are 8 ohm satellite speakers & Subwoofer. I have problem with the front speakers... I get excellent sound from fronts when playing FM radio, but very low sound when playing DVD or Digital Cable. I tried changing speaker sound levels, etc, etc..but nothing has helped. I have used a digital coaxial cable to connect the DVD to the receiver.. If connecting the 6 ohm speaker to 8 ohm receiver is the problem - how come the FM tuner works great?? Thanks for your interest! | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Thx. My receiver and speakers are Precision Acoustics. However, I bought everything seperately and not as a package. Like I said the stereo mode for FM tuner works great, but when I change to 5.1 and play all speakers and subwoofer, the sound from the satellites are better than the 6 ohm floor speakers.

Hi,
> Discs have lot more dynamic range than FM broadcast. Maybe the speaker can't handle that increased dynamics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

I had a similar problem in the past. It bugged the crap out of me. In the end, I purchased new speakers all the way around and my center worked just fine in all modes. I didn't exactly have matched/balanced speakers but they weren't so mismatched that it should have caused such woes. I had Klipsch towers in the front, Klipsch center, and Polk Audio rears. I swapped all of them with 5 identical Bose--problem solved. Either my receiver didn't like the Klipsch center or the mismatch was throwing the whole thing off. > Help me please...
