Need list of 92db speakers and above.

Looking for a list of high efficiency full range speakers for a second system. That system will have a 5 watt SET amp as does my main system. I already have a pair of Abbys I purchased recently but may want a little different on the second system just to play with.

Thanks

Yowsa, Dean - you are really jumping into this SET/single thing with both feet!

To try a totally different single-driver experience from the Abbys, I'd suggest the Hammer Dynamics Super-12 kit. It features a customized 12" fullrange singe driver with a supertweeter crossed in above 12kHz. 97dB@1watt and 45-21kHz freq response. Upgrade the stock tweeter with an affordable Fostex FT-17H tweeter and top end extends to 50kHz.Kit is only $650 and comes with everything you need except the 2 4'x8' pieces of wood needed to build the cabinets.

The former Single Driver Website has a DIY/mod section devoted to thsi speaker with lots of tweaks and upgrades. You can also post/search the new FullRange Driver website/forum for even more info and advice from others.

Audio Note Speakers also come to mind as both kits and pre-assembled. Aprox. 94dB and designed specifically for SET amps. These designs are intended to be placed in or near corners for loading and best bass response.

For something totally different, but just as impressive look into the Bastanis Prometheaus open baffle speakers/kits. The finished speaker is out of your price range, but the kit makes it. Here's a few reviews of it: 6Moons, Enjoy The Music, Dagogo .

The Ref 3a deCapo is a large-ish 92db stand mount that gets to +/- 42 hz with a very flat impedance curve (nom=8 ohm) due to a minimal x-over. Not the last word in dynamics, but it will provide extended bandwidth and a neutral midrange from 5W/ch.

For the flip side of the above, Zingali makes some horn mounted floorstanding loudspeakers that are very dynamic, if a bit less neutral than the deCapo. They also get a little hard at higher spls. You can check the OS Services (former USA distributor) website to see if he has any on close-out at your price point.

I've used both with the Cary 300B monos and liked each speaker in its own way

Good Luck,

Marty
