Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

You can't do it for the price with this speaker!

Your Sensitivity is 87 db, but the speaker is four ohms. That means your actual efficiency is only 84 db. I can put the math up if you like, but the simple fact is you need about 600 watts (in most average rooms)and that does not exist in a tube amp for that price.

IMO/IME you would be far better off getting a speaker that is higher efficiency and higher impedance! Don't try to make tubes do things that are hard for them and you will really hear a lot more performance as a result. Its the same reason you would put good tires on a high performance car.
