I read the following quoted thread on a news-board and got confused. I have the Monitor 10 series 2 speakers.
Can anybody with a high-level-of-confidence tell me what
impedance (ohms) is of the old Monitor 10 series 2 speakers?
Its difficult for me to believe that the nominal impedence of these old speakers is less than 4 ohms. Thanks.

"I own a Technics GX-505 (Pro Logic) which was hooked up to Polk
Series 2 Monitor 10 (nominal <4 ohm impedance) in a surround sound configuration and it couldn't handle them! "

    10Bs had a nominal Z of around 6 ohms

    Thanks guys.
    I was just wondering if the "Series 2" was different than
    the "10B". I suspect not. Tweeter upgrades are one thing.
    But, drastically changing the impedence of a speaker is more than an incremental improvement.
