Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

Re: If you are using conventional solid-state amplification, then...

TM---I disagree.


I don't hold at all with this new orthodoxy, this tube-high efficiency thing. I've known people that have used horns and SS for over 35 years, I'm one of them. I've used horns with many amps from Dynaco 400s to SETs, PP tubes, chip-amps and tri-paths. And horns have always sounded better to me than any other type of speaker.

I wouldn't doubt that for every guy using horns with tubes there are a dozen using SS and some of the best I've heard used Mac and QSC SS gear.

Right now I'm running one horn system with a Fisher tube receiver, another with a Denon SS HT receiver, another with a Dynaco tube preamp and a gain-clone and ANOTHER with a Sonic Impact. None of these systems would sound better with conventional speakers, not to me.
