| Downside of sensitivity? fiesta75473 posts07-02-2021 2:23pmSpeakers are very subjective. I personally like speakers that are efficient, 93dB/watt@1m or greater. Concentric or coaxial mounted drivers best, 2nd is vertically aligned drivers as close together as possible. ... | |
| Best midranges... I'm wondering what you all consider to be among the top midrange drivers.I'm looking at drivers that play the best between 120hz and 3khz roughlyI've been impressed with the SEAS magnesium coned drivers that are in the Tyler Acoustics speakers, ... | |
| Downside of sensitivity? audiokinesis2,577 posts05-21-2006 11:05pmI think Sean covered the issue quite well.In my opinion the single biggest downside to high efficiency is that you will need a bigger box to get the same bass extension. If you want the advantages of high... | |
| Downside of sensitivity? sean6,229 posts05-21-2006 10:25pmHigh sensitivity typically comes at the expense of wide bandwidth, power handling, convenient size, etc.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yes back in your 2006 world, Horns were about best bet for high sens. Lowther/Fostex had ... | |
| Downside of sensitivity? clfcarney29 posts05-21-2006 6:55pmThe downside of high sensitivity speakers had been that there were so few models available which were of high quality and low coloration.Over the last 5 years or so that has changed greatly.As you may be aware,t... | |
| Downside of sensitivity? whart2,220 posts05-21-2006 6:00pmOne of the drawbacks of having an extremely sensitive speaker system, eg 103db @ 1metre, is that everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING, can be heard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Well most wide band are not over 100db sens. So it... | |
| Downside of sensitivity? plato1,543 posts05-21-2006 4:49pmThere are many factors that influence the final sound character of speakers, not just sensitivity ~~~~~~~~~~~~Sensitivity is the most important spec to consider and separates the xover design from the wide band des... | |
| Downside of sensitivity? I'm new to world of audio, and still puzzling out a number of things. One question in particular that I have concerns speaker senstivity. It seems as though higher sensitivity is a positive, i.e. it allows one to use lower-power amplifiers, soun... | |
| Speaker sensitivity How does sensitivity affect the sound, if at all? Or does it only allow you to run lower powered amps as the efficiency goes up? I'm wondering if all things are equal, will higher sensitivity result in a more dynamic presentation?vortrex02-01-20... | |
| Blindfold Speaker testing All I am trying to get across is the ideaHigh sens wide band sound completely, totally different voicing vsxover designs.Thats all I am saying here.Line up 10 xover and 1 wide band. Anyone with even a moderate sensibility to audiophile quality ... | |
| Sensitivity Issues system.I wouldnt go below 90 dB's with the Pass.I can hear the difference between 1 dB up or down in a speaker. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yep1 db makes a difference. My Seas Thors at 87db, are unacceptable for classical music, And this goes for all dom... | |
| Sensitivity Issues If you can, go for 90db (which is fine) ~~~~~~~ Close but no cigar90db is still in xover territory91db is the lowest acceptable rating for a true wide band/higher sensitivty speaker. | |
| Sensitivity Issues gregm3,252 posts04-07-2001 6:19pmEleonida, excellent afvice, IMHO!. A few rules of the thumb waiting for cognoscenti. The Ohm load doubles (or halfs, as it were) per 3 db rating. I would pounce on 91 vs 88 dbs (the difference could mean a bigger... | |
| Sensitivity Issues I'm on the hunt for a speaker upgrade. My current amp is, well, modest (30 wpc Pass Labs). I've been advised to confine myself to sensitive speakers (more sensitivity in the house has cheered my wife). What range am I looking for, and how big a ... | |
| Full Range Drivers I was wondering who has heard them and if so, what is or was your take on them compared to full range speakers.donjr01-19-2010 3:13pm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You see, back in 2010, some of us could not figure out what these **odd things* were, How d... |
