Subject:NVC: measuring impedance of a speaker?
From:Ben McCafferty
Date:Tue, 28 Jan 2003 17:36:32 -0700

Hi out there,
Any of you stereo buffs:  I need to determine if my home speakers are 4 or 8
ohms, so I can set my receiver properly.  Unfortunately, there is no marking
on the case or actual speaker anywhere, except "75 watts, magnetically
shielded, design for t.v."

I have a fairly sophisticated digital multimeter, but it only goes down to
200 ohms for resistance.  Is there another way I can determine what I've
got?

If it helps, they are from Rock Solid Sounds, Worthing, England, Made in
Taiwan.

Thanks in advance,
bmc  :)
