In Reply to: Going to Denver RMAF this Friday - What High-Eff speakers should I NOT miss?.............. posted by Cut-Throat on September 28, 2009 at 14:09:07:
That would be Classic Audio Reproduction.
But that's only if they are showing the same basic design as last year, which uses modified JBL drivers. They are using field coils and beryllium diaphragms on the horns and a JBL cone driver of some kind for the reflex bass with field coil added as well.
The older versions of their speakers used awful sounding TAD drivers for both the compression drivers and the reflex bass.
Not any more!
in the "cones and domes" world, the best of Audio Note is about as good as it gets, but not exactly "high efficiency" without careful corner placement and lots of room gain. Even then, I doubt their numbers, but with a decent 300B amp, they would sensitive enough and certainly tube friendly.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
