Re: JBL C38 efficiency

The D130 is among the most efficient cone drivers produced by JBL, with a sensitivity of 101 db/w/m. The tweeter is even more efficient but is adjusted downward to mate with the D130. They should be easily driven by a SET on the 16 ohm tap - some have only 4 and 8 ohm taps. If you want deep bass, consider adding a sub with a plate amp. The JBL crossover would really benefit from recapping with higher quality caps.
