Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: CBT24 Speakers

As I listen to these speakers, I am impressed increasingly by the depth of their sound stage. One can hear layers of sound. The speakers seem like a very good match for a vintage tube amplifier (McIntosh 240). Don Keele tells me that sensitivity is about 88 dB (1W/1m). I certainly do not feel like the amplifier is being pushed.

I also tried the speakers with a modern, Class D amplifier (a Crown XLS 1000), also with very good results. BTW, I am fond of the Crown. Its virtues (power, light weight, seemingly linear response, quietness) are significant.
