Hi again. Yes, the driver plus its cabinet defines the resonance properties of the transducer and that defines the observed impedance much more than the crossover electronics does, I believe. If you have scope to test it, replace the speaker drivers with an 8 ohm resistor and look at the flatness of the impedance profile!
The 804s are much larger.. the 805s have a single combined bass/mid driver while the 804s have a pair of 6" woofers for bass alone and a separate 6" FST midrange, both in separate compartments within the body of the speaker. The bass section has a front firing bass port, which does certainly make the speaker less badly behaved in the corner of a room though. The 804 is the same diameter as the 805 though, so the midrange cabinet is broadly similar, though in the 804 it doesn't have to handle anything below 200hz.. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
