Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

The 808 was one heck of a monitor, but 70 watts of KT88 isn't going to cut it

The 808 was developed with the basic goal of giving similar sound to the 801 (NOT the 801 matrix), but with much greater volume capability - specifically 120 dB continuous.

Since most will concur that 70 watts won't make a pair of 801s sing, you'd better believe it won't fare well on the 808 either.

Now if he could biamp them with the tubes on the mid/tweets & say 300 wpc solid state on the woofers...
