| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? What is the voice coil diameter on the Totem drivers? You want 26mm. 38mm like Scan speak and Dynadio take tons of power to get going and never sound good at low volumes. I do not know about sensitivity playing a part. I had some 88dB sensitivity... | |
