Thanks Al. You are too generous, the error was probably all mine.:-)

I could be very wrong or just confusing the Manley with VTL, but I seem to remember that they came with 5 Ohm outputs. Caveat, I seem to remember that my memory was once better, but I could be mistaken about that too.:-)

Atmasphere, 04-03-14: "...George keeps pulling the thread off-topic by suggesting that a powerful transistor amp be employed; he also said that my suggestion of the ZERO was 'stupid', and did so without any experience whatsoever with their use.......

^Yes, someone should do it immediately, as they might be inadvertently garnering more sales.;-)

There are many, many speaker cables to choose from. I'm confident that one would find many (if not most) will work just fine with a 4 Ohm load speaker.

Atmasphere, My disagreement was and continues to be with your earlier post(s): "Now it is a simple fact that there is no good argument for lower impedance (4 Ohms or less) in high end audio; that is to say if **sound quality** is your goal."

Bruce, thank you for your thoughtful response. It's late for me now, I'll try to find time in the near future for a more deserving answer. In the mean time, you might want to reread the chronology of the posts above. I think you'll understand why ...

Atmasphere, Ah ha, I found one, I'm confident there is at least one more from a different source. I'll keep scratching my head.04-05-11: LrskySoundlock makes a good point.Jim Thiel, starting in 1988, while developing the CS5's discovered that, by ...
