It's a myth. There is really no 8 Ohm amplifier on the market. And there never was. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout << Zin. That means the output impedance of the amplifier is much less than the input impedance of the loud speaker. The damping factor Df = Zin / Zout tells you what Zout is. Zout = Zin/Df. If the damping factor Df = 200 and the loudspeaker impedance is Zin = 4 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier is Zout = 4 / 200 = 0.02 ohms. You see, there is no "8 ohm amplifier" on the market with a 8 ohm output impedance. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging - Zout < Zin".

There is really no amplifier with an output of 8 ohms. All loudspeaker amplifiers have an output impedance of 0.5 ohm or less. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging".

How does the magnet in speakers work?

Magnets generally surround the voicecoil which receives an eletrical current. This creates a motor that moves the voicecoil in and out with variations of the current from the amplifier, thus projecting air movement that our ears hear as sound.

Why do your ceiling speakers not play when hooked up as surround sound on your new Yamaha receiver?

The wiring may be disconnected or not connected properly. Make sure you are connecting them to the left and right surround speaker jacks if you want to watch a 5.1 movie. Connecting them to the rear surround if the system is 7.1 will only work if the movie itself is mixed in 7.1 surround, or the system is set up to send a 5.1 mix to both the surround and back speakers.


Do you need to have a receiver for the Panasonic SP-PK21BS surround sound I have a samsung bluray player that has speaker connections will that work?

The Panasonic SC-BT series (there is no SP-series) are theatre-in-a-box systems with a disc player with built-in amplifier. You don't need a receiver for this. Your Samsung would also have its own amplifier if it has speaker outputs. These two systems wouldn't connect to each other, but you may be able to use the Panasonic's speakers with the Samsung.
