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

How about either the JBL 4312's or the 166's?High sensitivity and work well with low power amps! I have both of these and prefer either over present day gear!

Omega is a brand I have been curious about since they seem to get good reviews by people that purchase them. Another brand that has intrigued me is Decware.

Tls49 Luis from Omega is genius, I bought supercone rs8 , True 98db Speakers from Him, they work well with tubes, the moment I completed 150hrs burn in, music wise is head to head to my tekton impact monitor sound quality I prefer the rs8, openness and liveness tekton wins, either one you can’t go wrong...
