Thanks for the replies. I was skeptical about driving these with my onix sp3 but I've been pretty pleased with the combination. Definitely more substantial bass with a solid state feeding them (i've tried an sae 2200, amber model 70 and b+k st202) but the onix does just fine. I'll check the impedance and the terminals tonight but i've been hooking them up to the 4ohm taps on the onix

Wrong speaker. That review is for the M-3, a bi-polar 3-way from the lat '80s. He's asking about the SM-3, a front-firing 10" 2-way made 1982-4. An inexpensive ohmmeter from Radio Shack would answer your question. I read on another forum that the woofer is a 4-ohm unit, but that doesn't determine the overall impedance of the loudspeaker system. Put the ohmmeter's probes on the two speaker terminals and you'll get a good idea of the nominal impedance. |
