Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Yes and no.

It is not just the efficiency of 97 dB that is relevant. People seem to have consistently positive results running SETs with the GPA driver. If the cabinet is designed correctly (I don't think the classic BR alignments meet this criterion), this driver benefits from the high output impedance of a SET amp.

For whatever reason - alignment, driver Q, sonic signature/balance at certain volumes - the 2226 in the 4Pi needs more stick than it would otherwise seem. I have said it many times: "Wayne, please design a 4Pi that uses the equivalent AE driver."

Cheers.
