Efficient speakers v. less efficient speakers
If driven with the appropriate amplifier(s), meaning a higher powered amplifier for a less efficient speaker and a lower powered amplifier for a more efficent speaker, are there any difference?rlew01-18-2006 8:28am
Huge difference. Like Night and day'/
Black and white
like complelely opposites,
Like different sound worlds.
If you have a xover style speaker, its not really going to matter if you have a 50 watt amp, or a 1000 watt amp.
Well it obviosuly will make *some difference* in how speaker responds,
But who really needs 100 watts?? AT what db listening levels??
fact of the matter is higher sensitive speakers will perform , = RESPOND, far superior with just about any amplifer , from SETs, to EL34's to Jadis's JA800 weighing over 800 lbs, like some 500 pure class A watts.
Whereas with xover low efficiency speakers,, folks keep chaging amps out thinking,,,**well maybe, just maybe if I swap out my amp, I'll get better sound from my system*
Wrong.
Nothing will fix the fact that lower efficient speakers will wear on your nerves after a while Its only a matter of time..
So then some figure,,,hummm, maybe i should swap out speakers,,for yet another xover low efficient speaker,,,**Yeah now THATS much better,,,** then after some years,,, hummm, just maybe,,,and so on and so forth.
Like a Merry Go Round.
In the end, they finally try a high efficient wide band,,
WOW
where have I been.
= On the MerrtGoRound.
