Morning all you clever people... 
I'm still in a battle using 4 speakers with my Yamaha AX-497.
Using the A+B Channels, I assume that they will be connected in parallel, thus changing the output impedance to 4 ohms, which the Amp can handle.
My bother however is, the Energy C-500's I use, states the impedance as follows: 8 ohms nominal; Minimum Impedance: 4 ohms.
Concerning, because should these drop to 4 ohms, then the total impedance the Amp will see, drops to 2.66 ohms, which is not good.
I have also found the sound flat and dull, but when I swapped the polarities on one set of speakers (i.e. fronts are out of phase with the rears), it became much better. Any ideas why, because I cannot explain this... ???
