The nominal impedance is 6 ohms, making these speakers compatible with a range of amplifiers and AV receivers. They also have a sensitivity rating of 86 dB, which indicates their efficiency in converting power into sound, providing ample volume with minimal distortion. The cabinet design includes internal bracing to reduce vibrations and unwanted resonance, contributing to a cleaner sound output. Gold-plated binding posts ensure secure and reliable connections to audio sources. The Onkyo SKF-4800's combination of elegant aesthetics, robust construction, and superior sound quality make it an excellent choice for audiophiles seeking a rich and immersive audio experience in their home entertainment setups.
