Will there be any advantage in replacing a speaker in a radiogram?

[QUOTE="mafioso, post: 291464, member: 572"] I somehow think now that I popped the question, the answer will be a big "NO!" but anyway, here goes. The recently acquired HMV radiogram was fitted with a 7" (180mm) Celestion alnico driver with 3.2ohm impedance. After err...consultations with a wellknown AVFSA member a few days ago, he estimates the radio/amp to have an output of around 3W. I have some idle, modern 100W drivers on my racks with an impedance of 8ohm. What can be expected if I substitute one of these 100 watters for the 3.2ohm Celestion? Probably awful sound as 3W won't drive them properly? Btw, there is nothing wrong physically with the Celestion speaker. mafioso [/QUOTE]
