How can you tell the difference between the two? Do they have different markings?

Thanks

    the input terminals on the 194 I believe are smaller and the same size where the 198's one is small and one is bigger.

    Yep that is the glaring difference.

    Those are the only differences?



    I've been wondering this lately myself.

    I wasn't sure if the 198's had the foam rings around the tweeters like the SL-3000's have.

    No foam.

    The only way to tell them apart is as mentioned. The size of the terminals.
