Posting a doubt here regarding some speakers on sale here
Owner says that the speaker measures ~23 ohm, and need a special transformer for hooking up to an amp
User manual says these are 8 ohm speakrs, transformer is needed only if they need to be hooked up to a 70/100V PA system.
another ebay link of a 409-16T with multimeter readings show somewhat plausible 6.4 ohm reading
Pair of Altec 8" Coaxial/Duplex Speakers Model 409-16T for Parts/Repair | eBay
Pinged the owner, who says this is because altec made difference impedance versions - which does not make sense to me / his multimeter is not so sensitive in the lower ranges
Can someone sort out this confusion?
