From the specs on the Yorkville page for the PL315:


Specifications subject to change without notice




There is only a mentioning of a 4 Ohm version, there is no mentioning of
differences between 4 and 8 Ohm version, so by implication the 4 Ohm version
has the same specs as the 8 Ohm version. Also specs usually change only
during the period of manufacturing, not after.

From the link provided, "... comparing a PL315 bought new from a shop
in Copenhagen and a PL315/4 bought on ebay."

That could explain a lot. Is the one from Ebay new and unmodified? Is
the shop in Copenhagen an authorized dealer? When was each speaker
manufactured? Same day? Same year? My only point is, there is a plethora
of ways that differences could exist. These are discontinued speakers,
according to the manufacturer's site.
