RE: Help Needed Selecting The Right Hi-Efficiency Subwoofer

Posted by Rod M on May 3, 2017 at 11:15:16:
Boy, I don't know and can't find any specs on sensitivity. I run them on the second outputs from my preamp with the 106 db EdgarHorns. Sensitivity has never really been an issue at all and I've never noticed a problem with different amps other than adjusting the volume level on the subs after a change. Thus far, I've run Wavelength Geminis with 45s, Atma-Sphere S30 at 30 watts and a Classe DR-9 at 150 watts.

It's essentailly just a one time change to increase the volume level of the subs for the DR-9 which is as loud at 10 on the preamp versus turning the volume down for the 45 tubes which require the preamp at 30 for a similar volume level. After adjusting, they seem to scale just fine.
