Will an HK745 power a 7.1 Lsi system

[Chris Lyon]

Will it do okay for now or will I have to get an amp.

First,a hearty welcome.2nd,you are posting in the wrong spot.
If you have done a search,there is a search button,you would find that answer very quickly.But to cut you some slack,the answer to your question is no.Will it turn on and play?Yep.You will be stressing your receiver to the point of possible damage to it and the speakers.Most will tell you to get a seperate amp for the LSI series since they are 4 ohm speakers that need a good 200 watt/channel amp to sound there best.Good luck buddy boy.:)

Welcome Chris.

+100 on what Tony said!

FYI, the HK is more than capable of handling a 4 ohm load.

With that said, I would still look into getting a seperate high-current amp for at least the front stage.

lots of receivers can handle a 4 ohm load,but at 7-channels of 4 0hm,you are really stressing your AVR.
