The only 8" EPI woofers that were 4 ohms were on the 601 and 602. ALL others are 8 ohms. The M180 spec of 8 ohms is incorrect.

I have been collecting EPIs for many years, and have yet to see another pair of 201A's for sale. In case you are not familiar with this model, here's a link to the Human Speakers description: http://www.humanspeakers.com/cgi-bin/page.pl?page=e/epi201a.txt This is an early generation dual-module EPI design, with rubber surrounds and masonite tweeters. They look great and sound great. It's time for me to start thinning out my collection, so my loss could be your gain... Asking $300 for the pair. Local pickup ONLY. Far NW suburbs of Chicago.

I looked around to try and figure out which of the big speakers were playing, and was very surprised to find that it was the tiny M-50's. That is what hooked me on EPIs. I walked out of the store with a demo pair of M-100's (which I still have). I presently use a pair of M'50's in my master bathroom, driven by a vintage Pioneer car stereo that I mounted in a wood box. I also mounted 2 pairs

I presently have three pairs of towers, and 2 sets of mini-towers. The 1000's are quite impressive visually and sonically. I'm glad that they are, because they were a huge PITA to restore because of the size and weight. I thought that they might have a single-note deep bass response because of the organ pipe effect of the tall skinny cabinets, but they dont. Bass seems smooth and natural to me. I also really like my pair of Epicure 400+'s. They will not go quite as low or loud as the 1000's, but for normal listening, I like them at least as much as the 1000's. The EPI version of the 400 has
