What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?


Consider both designs are done right and your other equipment is well matched with the speakers.  Do you have any preference when it comes to sound quality?  Is it matter of economic decision when it comes to price? - power amps can become very expensive when power goes up, on the other hand large,  efficient speakers are expensive as well.  Is your decision based on room size?  I'd love to hear from you on the subject.

@alexberger   bass below 30-40 Hz is not issue. High sensitive drivers  got low moving mass and resonance up to 60-70Hz , so is basically got low performanse in bass . I build my Ls assosiated with my name with build in active bass, also is very important to mach the phase with middle bass . Theoretically is it possible improve the bass , but  cabinet size must be huge

@tannoy56  Below 30Hz ??   .  If  You dont want check by Sound Generator , there are a lot test Cd    to check it . Please  check and let us know.

@tannoy56  please cool down  , t think you big fan tannoy,  This is a very good Co, no question ,   They make only 93db sensitivity passive LS  and make now good line with build in Class D amp   .   And  also  , dont biieved for 100 % , what they say, check  ability to produce below 30Hz, and let us know , if you listen something 

after that -- i say Thank  you

 

Hi @bache ,

The question: what is high sensitivity? Yes I agree. For real high sensitivity let say 98dB and up it is an issue. For a 15" driver with 94dB sensitivity bass can be good down to 35-40Hz. 

Regards,

Alex.
