    Hello! I have an Pioneer AZ-470 amplifier, and i have issue with speaker A+B mode - it is not working. Speakers A and B works, when set separately, but when i toggle speakers A+B setting, it's not working. Any ideas why so? Do i need all 4 speakers to be 16 ohm's instead of 8? Thank you!

    Earlier this week, I bought a pair of 8228s at a thrift store for 80 bucks, not knowing anything about them prior to this site. I was amazed to see the amount of "enthusiasm" on these speakers!
