Specifically I am searching for those speakers possessing a relatively flat 8ohm impedance curve and a true (8ohm) 92db sensitivity that are at a cost of $5000 USD.
The Reference 3a mm de Capo meets those specs, and they are excellent performers. If you’re open to used you could step up to the Taksim tower model. Best of luck.
Well, I agree that 91dB is not that sensitive, however coupled with a flat 80hm speaker with a rather narrow phase angle makes for a pretty efficient speaker to my thinking.
What I failed to do was describe my listening environment. Basically a dedicated room treated to my liking that has the volume of a ~12x15' roo
It's amazing that so many people, some of them supposedly audiophiles, don't grasp that speaker sensitivity is simply how loud they'll play with 1 watt of power. Also, 91-92 is considered the low end of high sensitivity. Look it up.
