14 ohm 7” midrange driver

8535 is about 14ohm at the crossover point for your speaker. 

Talk to Masisound and ask them if they'll measure the DC resistance of an 8535.

The driver has a 14 obm label on it and ProAc said they don’t have any anymore.

Does anyone have creative ideas that will allow me to not recycle these speakers?

I briefly considered an in line circuit to bump up the impedance but causes issues with power and sound quality, from what i’ve read.

The tweets/mid-woofers are special/custom per the Stereophile review.

PS - Saw another picture saying that the Scanspeak 8535 actually measures 14 Ohms at DC.

No drive vender I know of rates their woofers at DC so that’s probably why you are having the discrepancy.  In all other worlds, the 8535 is an 8 Ohm driver.

Well, that’s weird. Based on the stereophile measurements I’d have guessed it was a Scanspeak 8 ohm unit.  I see it listed in some places as the Scanspeak 8535.
