In Reply to: 10 watt SET and 87db speakers? posted by F2a on November 22, 2006 at 17:09:06:
The sensitivity is only one third of the equation, the other issues are impedance (over the entire response spectrum) and output impedance of the amp/damping factor. If you can view an impedance measurement, see if the speaker maintains a relatively constant impedance or encounters severe dips at various frequencies.My Merlin TSM is only 87db efficient, but with its outboard Zobel network, presents a nearly constant 6 ohm impedanced across the frequency spectrum. Partnering with the 15wpc Wavac MD-811, is sounded as good if not better than the VAC Avatar running in 27 wpc triode.
