B&W CM1 bi-amp impedance

Can anyone tell me the impedance of the CM1's?
I need to know what they register seperatly? I have 2 vintage McIntosh Amps that require you to choose an impedance, so in order to bi-amp I need to know tweeter, and woofer seperate impedance? In McIntosh's owners manual it says it will cause distortion if you do not choose the right impedance.Tweeter amp sounds good at 8 ohms, but woofer amp has distortion. I am sure they both need to be set at 4, but could someone please give me the numbers, cause my multimeter is broke.

Thank you,
robrob

Robrob, I think you answered your own question.

"In McIntosh's owners manual it says it will cause distortion if you do not choose the right impedance.Tweeter amp sounds good at 8 ohms, but woofer amp has distortion."

Try both and see what sounds best.
