Speaker relative efficiency/sensitivity when using a high pass filter
@nymarty I am using a Devialet 400.  It has high and low pass filters along with time delay. I have a Dayton Audio SA1000 as my subwoofer amp with second order and fourth order high and low pass filters, respectively, at 80Hz but I am not currentl... 
Speaker relative efficiency/sensitivity when using a high pass filter
I am thinking tubes as well but did not want to go down that path and incur/incite the commentary about there being plenty of high output tube amplifiers. Thanks for broaching it. I also want to entertain lower power AB SS amps. I have a fondness... 
Speaker relative efficiency/sensitivity when using a high pass filter
Understood, hence my calling it "relative efficiency".  I appreciate that your and Erik's replies are semantically more appropriate. So it appears there is a decrement in the current/voltage required to drive a speaker to only 80Hz instead of 35 ... 
New cartridge for Eminent Technology ET2
It is adaptable with different wands for different cartridge specs.  I would use the magnesium version.

200 W “peak unclipped program”    
Speaker relative efficiency/sensitivity when using a high pass filter
Makes sense. I’m sure the numbers won’t be exact but it means I may be able to go from my 400 W amplifier down to a 100 W amplifier. The speaker manufacturer recommends 200.  
Speaker relative efficiency/sensitivity when using a high pass filter
I am using a second order high pass filter at 80 Hz yielding12dB down at 40Hz.  12dB is associated with a 16-fold power difference. This is my rationale for the inquiry.  
New cartridge for Eminent Technology ET2
Appreciate advice. My dealer is going to do that but I thought I would also seek input using this knowledge base.   
2022 is almost here. Why are you here?

Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode
The manufacture recommends going bigger as well. This supports the notion that there is a range of effectiveness and that minor adjustments may yield a questionable return. Perhaps someone can tune it but I have neither the patience nor the butt t... 
Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode
I do not understand the rationale for leveling nor the logo directionality. Speakers are typically heavier in the front so compressive forces are going to be different, which I would think affects function. Also, some speakers need to be canted fo... 
Isoacoustics' Gaia eliminated a 120Hz mode
I realized I was going to have to do some significant modification on the Nobsounds, including drilling out M6 size holes so I could screw them on to the DBA subwoofer cabinets. I was also going to heat shrink them for stability. I did attach one ... 
Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables.
What I did with the TE package and my HW19.  Base-mounted initially and just changed to a SAMA.  The VPI alternatives are not competitive in the least.http://vpiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13319https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?convers... 
Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
Double Advents 
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
Ironic. A Dayton SA1000 powering a  Romeyn DEBRA is what’s plugged into the other outlet.
