I've ordered a plasma screen and noticed that the specs for the external stereo speakers are 8 watts @ 6 ohm.
I don't intend to connect it up to a home theatre system, just attach a couple of reasonable quality bookself speakers, which are 8 ohm.
What if any problems will this cause at normal listening levels?

****** None!!!!!!Brian Goldsmith.
Except maybe less sound.
No it's not. Firstly 6 ohms is the minimum recommended load, so 8 ohm is just fine. (4 ohm may not be) Secondly the speaker impedance figure is just a *nominal* measurement which may, or may not, be the minimum impedance of the speaker. The maximum may be ten times as much, or more, depending on frequency.

This comment is only valid if you have something else to compare it to.

I did say maybe less sound and wouldn't the comparison be the standard speakers?
Not necessarily. The standard speakers may be less sensitive than the desired speakers, so even at 8 ohms nominal impedance the 8 ohm speakers could be louder than the
6 ohm nominal standard speakers.
