What bearing does having 1 8 ohm unit and one 4 ohm unit in each cabinet have
i have a pair of vintage mission argonauts and i blew all of the original 8" bass units and i could only get 2 of each impedance 2 8's, 2 4's. they dont seem to sound bad for it, but as i have no basis for direct comparison to the originals i cant really say. (very rare speakers. never seen another pair anywhere) i cannot know whether they sound as good as they used to because it has been so long from when i blew them to when i managed to find suitable replacements. incidentally the two 8 ohm units i acquired were originally designed by mission and produced by SEAS and the two 4 ohm units, although never used in any line of mission speakers are very similar in design to the 8 ohm. so i have probably got a fairly similar sound, but i am more concerned about any negative sonic results this setup could have. the bass on my new mission m35i's is much more deep, rich and extended, however i am pretty sure this is to do with 20+ years of research on missions part and not to do with electronic cock-ups caused by units of different impedances. any points of view, advice and opinions would be welcome.
