I was thinking of looking inside my Sonus Faber centre and see how the crossover is wired so I could look at the possibility of using a spare mono amp to bi-amp. I know it's reputedly a 4 Ohm unit and the reviews show it measures this when looking at the impedance. When I measure the resistance across the terminals I was expecting to see nearer 3 Ohm as I am not measuring impedance at any particular frequency just a static resitsance
All my other channels and measurements make sense with 4 Ohm speakers measuring 3.5Ohm and 8 Ohm 6 Ohms etc, so below the nominal impedance by 20% or so. All drive units are working and it measures fine for distortion etc and sounds normal. In some ways it's good news as splitting the crossover might be okay without dropping too low for the amps. But the amps are okay with sub 4Ohm loads and I think happy at 2 Ohms
Any thoughts ?

Which model are we talking about?
You say you are measuring 7.2 ohms across the centre speaker input terminals?

A gorgeous center channel. A work of art for sure. To bad S.F. doesn’t make their owe drivers? Good luck and be safe.
