Is a 1290 a good speaker?

In the footsteps of the Altec 19's, JBL L250's and Acoustat Spectra 22's that preceded them I'm finding the 1290's a most excellent all around speaker that is simply a joy to listen to. I literally stood up and clapped at the end of my listening session. Bravo!

Does a 1290 woofer have impedance?

Also remember that the woofer impedance in the 1290's is two in parallel and at 500 Hz they might already be into the inductive rise section of the impedance curve. Just isn't enough info without actual measurements to say with any certainty that the schematic is wrong.

Should I buy a 910 or a l1290?

The 910's overall are smoother and super easy to listen for hours. The L1290/2 have better detail and slightly better imaging. I don't think I want to choose, but I may have to as they are both somewhat large and the better half will have something to say. Although she would probably choose the 1290's just because of the smaller footprint.
