Electro Voice JBL Altec at that small price thats what I would buy. One other benefit is if you buy right these brands may increase in value plus they are easy to mod upgrade or repair and sound wonderful and full on low power.
Need some Speakers with sensitivity >90db
A friend is looking to upgrade his speakers. Budget is in the region of $800-$1400
He would like floor standers, but monitors are OK as well
They must have a sensitivity greater than 90db in order to play nicely with his amp
We tried my 89db speakers last night and they were very good - except when a couple of tracks were played loudly - the bass got a little out of control
With my amp the sound was perfect, so I’m thinking if he tries a speaker with higher sensitivity, it should be a better match.
I’ve taken a look at Tannoy Mercury 4’s, which come in at 93db and there are a couple of Martin Logan bookshelf/monitors at 92 db
Thanks for any suggestions - Steve
