Is the EPI 100 an 8ohm load?

Loose- I know. I also tried them with my 10 watt tube amp just to hear how they sounded. Obviously not very loud in my medium-sized room but listenable. Depending on your room size, they should work to some extent for you.

Mt10425 - what's your opinion of that speaker, if you don't mind my asking?

Sure. I find it very balanced with a tweeter easy to listen to. I have re-foamed the woofers as that part doesn't age well. I had some growing up and got a great offer ($45 pair) that I couldn't pass up. They play well with vintage electronics. I hope you have a chance to hear them.
