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!
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

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... |
