Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

I decided on an GPA 605

(Edit: 604)-8H-III duplexes for a smallish space. This was after much over-thinking the various options. Still waiting though (7+ months to build and counting), so can't claim 1st hand whether this project has been successful.

With Rick Craig crossovers and suitably designed cabinets, the duplex seems to be one of very few achievable (for me) design approaches that suits my preferences and constraints, and has consistently received positive feedback when used with low-power SETs (a few people who did not design the cabinet appropriately to obtain acceptable balance notwithstanding) across a range of volume levels.

The big, low QTS driver is ideal for use in a lowish power SET-driven system, especially when cabinet design takes into account said system. Convincing dynamics, even if ultimate loudness is slightly compromised (amplifier and listener dependent).

Cheers.
