A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.


Specifically I am searching for those speakers possessing a relatively flat 8ohm impedance curve and a true (8ohm) 92db sensitivity that are at a cost of $5000 USD.

I currently own Fritz Carbon 7s SE  MK2.

curious jim ref ones are 85db sensitive

 

i would look at

Legacy Calbres: 90 db efficient, easy to drive, great bass, fantastic clarity with state of the art drivers

a large step up from the Scan-speak drivers in the Fritz.

@mesch - taking your current speaker specs and adding 3db “just for good measure “ is a convoluted way to go about this.  Usually, one can get a sense of a speaker’s power requirement is by analyzing the phase/impedance vs frequency plot (impedance variations, phase angles) and the sensitivity.

It would be much easier for us to help you if we knew the make+model of your amp so we can get a much better idea of what it can drive.

Another strategy is to look for reviews of your amp to see what speakers they are using.  As speaker synergy is important it might lead you to ideal amp/speaker combos.
