Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Polite?

Not sure what is meant by polite, but I've heard it mentioned before concerning the Beethoven's. If I have my speakers correct and correct me if I'm wrong, at 91dB and impedance at 4 ohms average, that means that the ohms drop below 4 sometimes. This is code for power hungry. My Tannoy's are 93dB with nom impedance at 6 ohms, dropping to 3 ohms. My VTL ST85 (tubes) could not drive them well at all. Just not enough gumption! I ended up with Class CAM-200. With the proper power, the D700 really came alive, including full bass. I would get a loaner amp of 150 wpc or so and see what these speakers are capable of.
