UHF What does the Mani-2’s impedance curve look like?

that, with the right equipment, the Mani-2 remains today one of the most formidable and most communicative speakers available.

UHF: Inside the Mani-2, the two woofers are facing each other?

Bruzzese: No, they’re back-to-back. They're connected in reverse phase, so that they move together as a piston. That piston action produces bass that is extremely clean and tight. Also, any resonances within the cabinet can’t come back through the woofer, because the twin woofers act as a buffer.

UHF: What does the Mani-2’s impedance curve look like?

Bruzzese: The impedance curve is not that bad. Sure, it will dip to 4 ohms, or perhaps 3.8 ohms, but it doesn’t rise, as some speakers do, to 120 ohms or so. So some people run them with as little as 40 or 50 watts. It works, as long as the amplifier is stable, has a nice current flow, and is musical.
