    Hello
    I have a Kewnood KA-1030 stereo amplifier and I would like to supplement my audio equipment with additional Jamo S426 speakers which have 6 ohms.
    They will play with 8 ohm monitors and the impedance of the amplifier is 8-16 ohms under the A + BI groups, my question is ... Can you connect 6 ohm speakers when the minimum impedance in the amplifier is 8 ohms?
    The amplifier has 2x65 watts into 8 ohms and has 2x70 into 4 ohms
    The loudspeakers have 100 watts of continuous power
    The floor tiles will play in group A and monitors in group B.
    In the amplifier I write:
    A or B = 4-16 ohms
    A + B = 8-16 ohms

    You can, but the maximum you can set 75% of the amplifier's drive, then you overload it, it is not known how your amplifier is protected, you can damage it by playing with full power. But if you don't torture him, nothing will happen to him ;)

    Yes and yes, I have the maximum in my computer, it does not even give the amplifier a half knob, so it probably will not overload it; D
    And if I want to play harder, I will turn off the monitors and it will probably be git;

    It is not recommended, but in practice, if you do not use it with full power, it will probably do the trick. While playing for a long time, control the temperature (although it may be difficult to physically grasp the casing). For safety, provide good "ventilation" and do not block the inlets.

    I can control the temperature because the amplifier is almost next to me on my desk, so it's not a problem ;) Provide good ventilation? hmmm Should I put a little fan next to it or something? And I do not cover the inlets because I do not cover it with anything, e.g. a cd player or equalizer

    If it doesn't overheat, it doesn't make sense.

    Oh, so I should first check if it heats up and how to give it some good ventilation? As I said, for example, the windmill?

    Just do not overdo it with noise, I bet it will handle it, there is always some stock, although no one will give a guarantee.

    Or maybe someone knows nice floorstands at the price of Jamo S426 with 8 ohms? Because I'm a little concerned about Kenwood: _

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting 6 Ohm Jamo S426 speakers to a Kenwood KA-1030 amplifier, which has a minimum impedance rating of 8 Ohms. Users confirm that while it is technically possible to connect the 6 Ohm speakers, caution is advised regarding the amplifier's power handling. It is suggested to limit the amplifier's output to about 75% to avoid potential damage. Monitoring the amplifier's temperature during use is recommended, and ensuring proper ventilation is crucial. Some users express concerns about the compatibility and performance of the setup, while others inquire about alternative 8 Ohm speakers similar to the Jamo S426.
