| Low level listening I have power to spare with my Thor's (Tyler's mid line qualifies in this benifit as well), even though my room is large I listen at low/mid volume. Speaker designs that use Seas drivers are rated as low efficient, like 87, but still a little 40 wa... | |

| JADIS JA80 with 6550 or KT 88 or KT90 ? Interesting. Do you guys think if I switch the KT90's for 88's that my JOR will sound even better. The 88's have been recommended, but I didn't feel the need. Also which 88's are good value. I don't want to spend say more than $200.PaulBaton Rouge | |
