Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Re: You suggest a 16 square foot baffle and a 2.0 Qts. driver ... so would still need another speaker for bass below 50H

Richard---OBs are easier than boxes, often uses one for convenience and calls it's resulting vices virtues. However on a couple of occasions I've heard them sounding pretty decent, especially an EV Wolverine 12 I heard and a Madison 21. God knows what the things were doing but they sounded full and robust.

Note that a fella who was once the foremost advocate of OBs around here used lots of EQ to get deep bass from a large OB array, which as you know means it was no longer high efficiency. He was also keen on using a low efficiency box subwoofer with OBs.

Recently I bought a couple of those old Yamaha "ear" speakers which used open backed boxes. They sounded OK. I'm gonna nail the drivers up on the wall in the garage as curiosities.
