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.

The first suggestion that comes to mind would be these from Omega:

Not quite a 100dB, but close enough for a small room like yours.  

95db sensitivity, not big, 700/pair

With 2 watts, you'll probably be sitting at 90db-ish with decent enough bass in that 12 by 10 room.

If you wanted 100 db sensitivity for a similar cabinet size, it will be a bass-less speaker (such is the physics).

On the same note, 3.5 Watts sounds like a lousy amp.

Try something like this instead, 10 watts @ 8 ohms, 15 watts @ 4 ohms, 30 watts in mono mode.

 Good quality speakers  to meet the  100 db , small and budget ??   If you get above mention speakers , you need extra subwoofer

The 3.5 watts I mentioned was hardly from a lousy amp. I was referring to the outstanding Triode Audio Labs creations.
