Efficient bookshelf speakers for my office
I'm thinking of putting together a simple office system with the Coincident Dynamo II and a pair of standmount speakers. The Dynamo puts out 8 wpc, so I need a pretty efficient pair of speakers. Only looking for bass down to 45HZ or so. Tower speakers won't work due to the office setup. Will sometimes crank it up a bit, but generally looking at listening at 75db or so. Would welcome any recommendations. Prefer a smoother, warmer speaker to a hyper-detailed one.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Best, Scott

I was going to wait to see what people posted because this is not my specific area of expertise. The Joseph Audio speakers are typical sensitivity for audiophile type bookshelves (86db / 2.83V). This means you really need a good amount of power to drive them to any sort of decent volume level (i.e. 50-100 watts). For 8 watt SET tube amps, you really need to look for high efficiency speakers. It depends on your budget and what you want. These are usually horn-loaded speakers or single driver full range speakers. If you have a low budget, maybe try Klipsch Reference RP-160M bookshelves, which have a sensitivity of 96db: http://www.klipsch.com/products/reference-premiere-bookshelf-speakers?model=rp-160m Here are a few other options: http://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/ http://www.lowtherspeakers.com/lowther.html https://omegaloudspeakers.com/collections/monitor-speakers Lot’s of choices. I’m sure others have better recommendations. Some speakers can have efficiency up to 101db. |
