Sensitivity, I learned this the hard way. Power an 86 db speaker with an outstanding 30W class A, no bass at all, and lifeless. Then power them with 600W monoblocks, audio nirvana!
the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?
I am curious how the experts choose speakers when upgrading? What are the priorities, what would make you stretch your budget?
Based on e.g....
- brand/company’s reputation
- price
- sensitivity
- crossover frequency
- compatibility with existing amp, etc.?
I don’t have buyer’s remorse for my last pair but I sure made some stupid choices until I got there, that I could have avoided if I had known about this forum sooner.
