I think he means what is the efficiency of your speakers, as in sensitivity

[Mike]

nafanja is from Ukraine, English is not his first language either.

The sensitivity of our models is around 88 - 90 dB/1 W/1 m

I am about 93-94 db...
I try to ask you - can this speakers work with 6 w tube amlifiers?

I am know inglish not right...I think you better)))

[nafanja]

Tell me plaese: do you plan to make the speakes with 93-94?

[johnrtd]

Dear Nafanja

To be really honest 6 Watts is really a small power. You could do with our new FR-1 (look at FR-1). The sensitivity is around 92 dB, but moreover it's also an "easy" load for your amplifier. The impedance doesn't go below 6 Ohm and that too is important when using such a small amplifier.

Have fun!

Hi Nafanja,

it's pretty obvious that you don't mind a bit of DIY, so if you want to look into high efficiency speakers, try here http://www.planet10-hifi.com/ and here http://www.frugal-horn.com/ . There are speakers here that can produce ear-splitting levels from 2 or 3 watts.

It's true that full-range drivers are not to everyones taste, and if not done properly they can sound bloody awful, but when done well they can be sublime.

If you got the space another one to try is the Hawthrone Open Baffle speakers I heard both the Solo and Duet and both are very good and will cope with low powered amps

Johnrtd. I emailed you back in November 08 and heard nothing. Is this not happening now?

Dear Puffin

I never saw your message (and normally you'll get an answer within one day!). So please send it again wether to the TAOS box here or to john@hawkaudio.nl
