What are their sensitivity?

I'm sure one or two AOS members own a pair of these big boys? If so, any good?

No idea of sensitivity but they definitely don't need much power... I found 20wpc was perfectly adequate. The Magnum SL is the weakest model, I rank them Magnum K, Magnum K2 & then Magnum SL.

The K has superb build quality & sounds damn good too but those cone tweeters are quite directional... The K2 dumbed down the build quality but have a slightly superior tweeter whilst the SL are flimsy & have spitty tweeters.

YMMV :)

My guess would be around the 92db mark for efficiency. I like the K2 version best, as James says that Phillips tweeter in the SL can be a bit sharp. The Magnum is basically the smaller brother to the Magister.

Not sure of the Magnums mate but I had a pair of Magisters and I think they were around the 90db mark.
Seriously good speakers! But mine were the big shiny cone feckers.
