@atmasphere Thank you. If you would have told the dealer exactly what you posted, he would have belittled you just the same. Some folk have agendas, and in this case, the guy was only interested in selling this speaker....not in discussing in any way the potential downfalls that this design elicits. OTOH, that was his job that day.
@lonemountain I couldn't agree with you more, it is absolutely important that one match their desired speaker to the space/room that it is going to be listened to in. However, the efficiency and the very nasty load that the speaker in question presents to the amp is a factor that IMO should not be overlooked, regardless of the room size. Personally, i am not that concerned about speakers that present a moderate efficiency, only those ( like the design in question, and others) that present basically a short to the upstream amp!
