Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

I rave about my 92db Reference3A DeCapo I

not sure if 92db is high enough efficiency for your needs?

I drive them with a 25wpc OTL Tube Amp (Transcendent Sound T8-LN) and the sound is mesmerizing, musical, plenty of deep bass when called for, and I regularly listen for 10 hours straight with ZERO listening fatigue.

The DeCapos I's are a 2 way and have no crossover, just a cap to block lows from the tweeter.

So no energy lost to heat as with a passive crossover.

And given that the OTL tube amp has no output transformer, there is nothing coloring the sound between the electrons and the speaker drivers
(unless you believe in the sound of cables and connectors, which I do not).

The mid-bass driver rolls off naturally...

Talk about breathtaking immediacy... It almost seems there are no electronics anywhere in the signal path!
