Both the Sonus Fabor and JBL seem like low sensitivity speakers. Do you think the 40 watts can handle them?
Speaker Recommendation
Hi guys, I'm looking for some stereo floor-standing speakers that pairs well with a 40 watt per channel (into 8Ω) otl amp. My plan is for them to be mixed use between music and movies. My budget is around 1000-1500 dollars; I don't mind if the speakers are new or used. I'll be sitting around 10 feet away from the speakers. I'm using an avr as a preamp so I may decide to add a powered subwoofer as well. What do you guys recommend?

40 watts is fine for the 90db JBLs. If you want higher sensitivity you should take a look at a Klipsch! Klipsch Floor-standing Speakers at Crutchfield |
You are right to question proto55, 40 watts and 90dB is nuts. What you want is more like 96-98, then you will be fine. Tekton Lore Reference is 96dB, 8ohms, and on sale now $825. https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/mid-towers/lore-reference/#color The Perfect SET would probably be perfect with your amp but a little over your budget. https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/full-towers/the-perfect-set/#color Between these two I would study the reviews, maybe even call Eric, but pretty sure one or the other of these is the way to go. |
