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.

Wow. If that's how you're going to choose an audiophile system, good luck to you. I have always considered loudspeakers the only starting point but if you are into buying somebody's super low-power amplifier as your starting point then you're probably in for quite a ride. I have no suggestions for an ultra-efficient loudspeaker. I have ever really enjoyed one beyond minutes.

The sonic signature of an amplifier seems far less important than that of a the loudspeaker. I think some Svengali has you beaten from the start. But just my I.M.O. not humble at all. :-)    Buena suerte in your choice!
