Don't they have their model listed on the magnet?

If not, I guess play them both and the one that sounds better and goes louder is the W6 v1 :D

This is easy

The W6 has a flat backed magnet structure.

The W3's all had a bumped magnet structure.

Also the W6's were 3 Ohm coils...

Its only easy as I remember.

If there is no sticker on it, it would be a bear to know.

I cant remember if the W3's came in dual 6 Ohm coils either...
