bwahaha Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Hi, my Onkyo receiver has required service twice in the past year. The service center (recommended by Onkyo) says the center channel died during the first outage, and I should have my center speaker checked. After the receiver died again, I took in the old center channel, a 8 ohm Synergy C1, and they said the ohm reading was low, and that I should replace it. I tested it on my multimeter at home and it registered 3.8 ohms. I just bought a new 8 ohm RP-250C and it registers 3.2 ohms. Should they be registering near 8 ohms? I'm testing by touching the leads to the respective black and red terminals on the units (not opening them up).

JohnA Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It sounds like they are fine to me. A common multimeter only measures DC resistance, not the DCR + AC Reactance of the voice coils and crossover components that make up "impedance". 3.x is a very common DCR reading for Klipsch.
