Need some Speakers with sensitivity >90db
A friend is looking to upgrade his speakers. Budget is in the region of $800-$1400
He would like floor standers, but monitors are OK as well
They must have a sensitivity greater than 90db in order to play nicely with his amp
We tried my 89db speakers last night and they were very good - except when a couple of tracks were played loudly - the bass got a little out of control
With my amp the sound was perfect, so I’m thinking if he tries a speaker with higher sensitivity, it should be a better match.
I’ve taken a look at Tannoy Mercury 4’s, which come in at 93db and there are a couple of Martin Logan bookshelf/monitors at 92 db
Thanks for any suggestions - Steve

A floorstander alternative to the well-regarded Ref 3As: Silverline Prelude Plus (92 db). Used will be necessary to hit your friend’s budget range though they can be had new for under $2000 (and sometimes well under that). Enjoying a pair with a 20 wpc amp. https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/silverline-audio |
