High Efficiency Monitors - List

If you can find a pair, the Soliloquy SM 2A3's (probably about $600-$800 with their dedicated stands for the preferred pre 2000 versions) mate extremely well with low powered SET's. They are two way 11 ohm with simple single component crossovers designed by Dennis Had of Cary Audio fame specifically for SET amps(in fact they come with the caveat not to use amps greater than 25 watts). I think they are greater than 90 db. I owned a pair and drove them extremely well with a 1.5 watt per side Korneff 45 amp. If I remember right, they were the hit of the '99 CES show in Chicago (see the reviews)

Reubent above is correct on the 3A DeCapos. I am using Reference 3A DeCapo I speakers (92db) on Skylan 24 inch stands each filled with 50# of sand driven by 9 WPC 300B amps. These speakers will play much louder than I ever listen to music; my room is 14’ X 18’. These speakers don’t need a lot of power to sound good and have a very natural presentation. The bass is very good however I am using a REL sub for a more fuller sound only because I had the sub on hand, but its totally optional. Let me know if you need more information.

Coincident Triumph! either 92 or 94db?
