M80's - 6ohm ?? - 03/15/04 05:13 AM
Thanks to Johnny Be Good (real nice guy) I have M80's to match my VP150 and QS8's.
My first impression - WOW
But the ohm question is alive. On the website, it says it's a 4ohm speaker. On the speaker itself, it says 6 ohm. If you look here:

The curve tells me the M80's are closer to a 5.5 ohm speaker. My Denon 1602 (low end receiver) drives them perfectly fine so far, which is about 4 hours of usage. Bass is overpowering and it's rated 70wpc at 8 ohm, 110wpc at 6ohm.
SO, if ever you have an amp that you're not sure can drive the 4 ohm load of the M80's, I would think it would. It seems to never drop below 4 and average somehwere between 5 and 6.
Should Axiom change the website to say it's a 6ohm speaker?
