Need list of 92db speakers and above.

The Ref 3a deCapo is a large-ish 92db stand mount that gets to +/- 42 hz with a very flat impedance curve (nom=8 ohm) due to a minimal x-over. Not the last word in dynamics, but it will provide extended bandwidth and a neutral midrange from 5W/ch.

For the flip side of the above, Zingali makes some horn mounted floorstanding loudspeakers that are very dynamic, if a bit less neutral than the deCapo. They also get a little hard at higher spls. You can check the OS Services (former USA distributor) website to see if he has any on close-out at your price point.

I've used both with the Cary 300B monos and liked each speaker in its own way

Good Luck,

Marty

Silverline Audio Sonata MK3 great speaker with SET. Had a pair for about 2 yrs driven with 10 watts Wavelength Cardianl X-1.

Dean,

You've gotten some good suggestions so far. You can also do a search on Lowther, Fostex, Hemp, Jordan and Audio Nirvana to find speakers using these single full-range drivers.

Enjoy,

I don't think you are going to be happy with 5 watts with speaker below 99 db efficiency unless you keep the volume down low or it is a very small room. I have a Reimyo PAT777 300B SET. Its 8 watts are not enough with my 93 db Acapellas. It was unbelievable on my 103 db Beauhorns. I also enjoy 1.56 watt 45 SET on them.
