Technics SB-A70 3-Way Speakers

[BwanaJim]

I am using these with my home video system and they are still going strong! However, I need the specs to hook-up to my a/v receiver. Does anyone have them?

Don't get too hung up on specs. You can check their DC resistance with a multimeter if you wish, which will give you a general idea of their AC impedance. Even if they're 4-ohm speakers, they're probably only 4 ohms for a very limited range of frequencies. You still might ought to feel the top of your receiver from time to time, just to make sure it's not abnormally hot. If you can fry an egg on it, back off the volume. And you'll probably rarely if ever hit the peak wattage even when cranking the volume to slightly uncomfortable levels. Just listen critically and if you hear harshness in the tweeters, back off the volume.

I also have a pair of these SB-A70s; the tall floorstanders with the horizontal horn-looking bass reflex port towards the bottom.

According to the tag near the jacks, they can handle up to 200W and are 8ohm.

I have driven them to stupid-loud levels with as little as a Cambridge Soundworks desktop PC speaker amp and have had them in/out of rotations in a 100W/channel Onkyo SR507 5.1 setup.

I assume/hope you like them, I inherited my pair and found them to be excellent. I plan on opening them up to find out why they are so beastly freaking heavy, and possibly see if I need to add acoustic stuffing and reinforcements.
