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.

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. 

Quality sensitive speaker at a low price = Tekton.  

Polycell 15 is 103 dB.

Perfect SET is 98 dB (there are two versions)  It should be fine and I have a friend whose pair sounds great.

I have successfully driven Encores (96dB) with a 2 wpc Decware EL84UFO.

Some people don't like the looks.  Also some jump to conclusions that these speakers ahe a huge array of tweeters.  They have one tweeter.  An array of the same small drivers is also used as a midrange.
