RE: Same thing

No, Satie is asserting that the Magnepan published specifications of some of the models are incorrect. That may be correct or it may not be. It's a difficult question to answer...IF...the entire frequency range is considered. However, if referring to a single frequency and the speaker measured in a free-field environment, then a consistent (relative) measurement could be achieved.

In your example, if the 500Hz signal level was the same and resulted in the same SPL, then your conclusion that the 3.3's use much more power than 1.6's doesn't make sense.

I don't think it makes much sense to go back and forth on this particular topic. ALL Magnepan speakers are inefficient.....relative to conventional types. :) A db or two here and there between models is irrelevant when the speakers are fully 10-15db less efficient than conventional systems.

Cheers,

Dave.
