Just curious about these - how were they used? All that is known is they
came from an audio lab.
About 200 watt, 2.8 ohm vitreous resistors. 200watt estimated, by me,
from surface area scaling of 2.5 and 6W ones, these are 210 mm long 35mm
diameter. Some sort of multiple series and parallel for 2 ohm etc or
with L and C for speaker simulation ?

Most newer SS amps are rated to a minimum of 2 ohms.

And cheapie meter leads might account for the extra 0.8 Ohms?
