Am trying to connect an Ekco LS1 'Ekcone' to an Ekco 313 set. To the rear of the latter there are five wanda-type plugs in a bank labelled "LS". Does anyone know please which two should be used? Many thanks

Squinting at the "Radiomuseum" website:

the schematic shows a tapped output transformer and a capacitor feed to the LS terminals: I wonder if it's designed to work with a high-impedance moving-iron type speaker? There's also mention of a mains-energised speaker.
