Hello gang,
Another question I have for the forum is detailed specs for my Boleros.The catalog mentions freq. response 40-20khz,power requirements(they can take more than 50 watts,I think)8 ohms but says nothing of sensitivity.Anyone know that?-Bob
ps,thks to Earl K for the links to cabinet refinishing.
ps again,I'm using a Marantz 2270 for power.

And 50 watts would be close to limit on these.

There are 2 different models, one with the 3000g horn tweeter and the other with a cone tweeter.
Both have a 406 woofer and the crossovers are slightly different.

You would have the unfinished version of the woofer, no paint or magnet cover (the "z" version most likely
I cannot find the actual specs on the speakers, but be gentle with the tweeters, I think they are difficult to replace.

92-94dbls is plenty efficient and I'll be careful with the tweets-Ihave the c model,by the way,with the horn.
