Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

RE: Bass control with low powered tube amps

"Will the SET amp have good damping for the 12" cone woofer even though there is plenty of power?"

No, but a high efficiency 12" speaker should not need much damping from the amp.

It should have a very strong magnet with a very tight voice coil gap and be self damped.

Having said that, a speaker of this type will not have much low bass.

I love low powered SET amplifiers but I only use them for the midrange and tweeters.

My JBL 2231 15" woofers are driven by a SS amp crossed at 200Hz.

This lets the low powered SET amps do what they do best without asking them to do what they can't. (drive the type of speaker that does have low bass but needs damping from the amplifier)
