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

RE: Not exactly

Let's see. The B&C Fs=35, the E-145 Fs=35. The B&C Qe=.28, the E145= .26

But, yes, you are right, there is quite a bit of difference in the Vas.

The Kappa Lite has an Fs of 47, a Qe of .36 and a Vas of 5.92
JBL Fs=35/a Qe of .26 (amazing,ah?)
B&C Fs=35/a Qe of .28, or .30 depending where you look

The JBl has a Vas of whopping 9.7
The B&C has a Vas of a mere 3.8

Let's consider EBP (which is actually a quotient)
JBL= 134
B&C= 116
Kappa= 125

The B&C is a higher quality driver than the Kappa Lite. Not that I have anything against Eminence, as I have used some of their drivers in my system(s) for almost 30 years.

Numbers are a nice guide, but will not necessarily tell the final outcome in terms of sound quality. JBl is pretty hard to beat. Having said that, there are modern offerings from Beyma, Faital Pro, and B&C that are quite nice.

You know, we have not heard much from the OP, in a while. I do think this is now a better discussion than before, when it went off the rails with personal attacks. This is a fun hobby; especially if it stays that way.
