My secondary system has a 4wpc Erhard SET driving Omega monitors to very satisfying levels in a relatively large space--very much louder than "conversation level" While I have paired my Tektons with small tube amps, I think small SET amps like avoiding crossover networks. I much prefer this small amp with a full range driver such as the Omegas. (and I much prefer the Tektons with high powered solid state)
This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity?
I am seriously considering putting together a system with power amp(s) that provide, at most 3.5 wpc. The Company behind them does not recommend using them with any speaker with less than 100db sensitivity.
Everything I am aware of is expensive and large to very large. Are there any quality speakers out there that would work effectively in a 12x10 room, and be capable of being driven by that amount of power? I would be happy to buy used, to keep the price affordable. I realize that the situation is not helped by the fact that many manufacturers inflate their claimed sensitivity.
Any expertise, recommendations or advice greatly appreciated.
