Tannoy 385 efficiency
This is a copy of my recent post. Perhaps you could answer my question?
"These are in commercial Lockwood bass-reflex cabinets. These were popular as studio monitors in the UK in the 70s and 80s. Tannoy re-engineered the hpd 385 with a foam surround, more suitable for higher output (rock) and rated at 85 watts...
Although rated as 92 dB efficient, these were generally used with 60 watt ss amps with good damping factor. At one time I had a Dared VP20 20 watt tube amp on them, but the bass re-emerged when I went to a 150 watt class D amp, which I am still using (TACT)
Considering that I listen to Mahler and other big symphonic music in a 'live' 2500 sq ft loft, would I be happy driving them with an Audio Note OTO SE EL84 single ended amp nominally 9 watts? Would I lose my bass again?"
