| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? My friend is a DIY speakers builder. He also fixes drivers. He had and measured dozens different 15' driver JBL, Tannoy, Altec,... He says the maximal sensitivity of 15' driver in vented box (of any size) at 100Hz is 94-95dB. Some 15' drivers lik... | |

| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Hi @mijostyn , My SET amp plays down to 7Hz -3dB. And plays bass much more in real, natural way compared to any other amplifier I had before. Experience DIYer can built SET amplifier that sounds better than most of amplifiers available on the ma... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Hi @bache , The question: what is high sensitivity? Yes I agree. For real high sensitivity let say 98dB and up it is an issue. For a 15" driver with 94dB sensitivity bass can be good down to 35-40Hz. Regards, Alex. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Hi @bache , Yes, sensitive speakers do not play bass below 30-40Hz. But this is a compromise with the texture in the middle bass and lower mids, which is absent in dull speakers with low sensitivity. Regards, Alex. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? The critical distance for medium size room at 1KHz less then 2m. Actually 2m is the worst case. So, the pik volume can generate the system with 300B amplifier is - spikers sensitivity + 9db (8w) - 3db (2m critical distance) + 3db (two speakers)... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? You can get "absolutely sound" with SET. For example, 300B SET and ~95dB sensitivity 15" JBL or Tannoy in medium size room. If 300B SET build properly you can get enough dynamic headroom for any kind of music. From small jazz to symphonic music a... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Hi @sns , You mentioned a very important question. Most low power DSET (45, 2a3, 300b,...) made today and before designed for very easy load and very hight sensitivity speakers file full range Lowther, Fostex, Voxativ,... But in therm of pik volu... | |
| MoFi controversy Hi @sns, I completely agree with you. In terms of sound quality vinyl before ~1965 is really special. I don't say it is better than any digital records but nothing gives me similar enjoyment of sound and music. For example, most records produce... |
