Its Like a Jungle Sometimes; It makes me Wonder
Not sure if this is in the right forum - could be Speakers, could be General Audio, but its here for now.....
For logistical reasons I happened to hook up a flea-watt (rated at 3/4 watt - actually puts out 1.0 watt) Darling SET / 1626 amp to my B&W DM-70 Hybrid electrostatic speakers, which I think may not be on the efficient side of the spectrum, though I have never been able to find specific db specifications....
Except for this from the manual - "Sensitivity
17 watts into nominal impedance required
to produce a sound level of 95 dB. at one
meter at 400 Hz"
Anyway - it sounded great. So at least with that pairing, very low power amps CAN sound great with not-so-high-efficiency speakers. Sometimes I LIVE for doing things the wrong way....
Looking forward to starting & finishing a 2A3 amp one of these decades!
