The impedance of the semi-active Arrakis 2 is on Rockports webpages specified to 4 Ohm and 90 db sensitivity. Can a Rockport dealer or distributor confirm that this is both for the active bass section and the passive upper section.

I sure would love to see an impedance graph of the entire Arrakis bandwith to find out what amps might be suitable for each section.

Of the 4 Arrakis setups I know of...all of them have 4 identical monoblocks. 2 systems use VTL (Hong Kong and Texas) 2 systems use Gryphon (Andy Payor and Taiwan). In fact, I think I read somewhere that someone said something about the Arrakis being best with identical amps???cannot remember why though.
