Infinty RS2.5 resistance at terminals

You cannot measure the resistance of a speaker with a crossover with a VOM. You need to measurse the impedance v frequency.

Excellent. With the Crown amp i had to dial back the bass one tick in the preamp, and one tick up on on treble for best results

This could be due to your room, of course, or personal preference (although I personally do like to hear brilliant highs), but I've never felt it necessary to increase the treble on any EMIT-based speaker I've owned, and when there are L-pads in the speakers, I generally keep those at the default setting as well. You might want to ensure that those level controls are clean, and it also may be time to start thinking about recapping.

While you are correct one can't measure actual impedance across the frequency spectrum, it's possible to get some sort of idea of the nominal impedance based on the DC resistance. Except, of course, in pretty rare cases like this one where there's a capacitors before every driver.

This^^^^ has been my experience with simpler crossover designs. I usually see resistance of an 8ohm impedance system to be 6-7 ohms. Maybe 3ohms for a 4ohm speaker. So i was shocked when i read 150k+ ohms.. Had me a small panic attack!!!
