Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

RE: Efficiency & Resistance

I don't mean to be disagreeable, but there are exceptions to the statement, "If you have no taps, as is typical with solid-state amps, then you have a limited voltage, in which case the voltage sensitivity (dB per volt) is the relevant measure and a higher impedance speaker will have less maximum output." An example of this is the pair of Nelson Pass First Watt F3 solid state stereo amps I use for the mids and highs of my triamped DIY horn speakers. They do not have ouput transformers or taps, but their rated output is 15 watts into 8 ohms but only 10 watts into 4 ohm or 16 ohm loads.
I dream of an America where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.
