Center Channel Speakers
Nominal Impedance of the 3 Ohms means that the Magnepan CCR is a difficult to drive speaker from nominal Impedance perspective, make sure that you choose an amplifier than can provide 3 Ohms for this speaker.
Many AVRs (audio/video receiver) in the market may have difficulty when the speakers dip below the 3 Ohms levels (this may cause clipping or even physical damage), so we recommend to not pair the Magnepan CCR with an AVR but use an Integrated Amplifier instead.
