There are some very high dollar speaker systems out there that are very inefficient and have low impedance ratings that sound great, if paired with an appropriate amplifier. ![]() If a speaker has a fluctuant impedance or is nominally a low impedance it is harder for an amplifier to drive. When I mentioned load I was refering to impedance. BIC may be another brand you could look into for efficient, good value, and fidelity. Just because the Fostex is efficient and of high quality build doesn't mean every other driver will be in the same line in relation to build quality and efficiency. The cool thing about Athena is they are quite efficient as well. The quality build of the Missions are likely to be much higher than that of the MTX, as well as Athena (they are almost certainly better quality). It seems to me you wheren't interested in others' opinions, just wanted to feel better about a decision you already made.Ī more efficient driver does not make it better. I had a DCM center channel with a similar tweeter, if not the same exact one, that sounded aweful. Wafflesomd says they sound small and I say the tweeters are absolute garbage, cheap OEM ferro fluid cooled polymer junk. So, you ask if anyone knows anything about the speaker. YES IT WILL! That little driver in that little box will sound in accordance to it's size and enclosure volume. "It is also worth noting that the 5.25" woofer doesn't necessarily mean they will sound small". I myself believe (build quality being equal) that a more efficient driver sounds better at normal listing range. There is plenty of other talk about speaker sensitivity/efficiency out there. Partly because of the quality of Fostex., but also because they are efficient to 95db. I have a pair of custom build enclosures with Fostex FE207E drivers. and it's ability to reproduce accurate sound at lower levels. I think this is because of the inefficiency of the driver. They also lack in many areas when played at lower volumes/lower power. They sound GREAT when at the upper level of what the receiver can do and speaker can handle. The X-LS are an inefficient speaker in my book (87db). The shipping AV123 charges is not so cool! That puts the the X-LS closer to $280.00. I have a pair of the X-LS bookshelf's from AV123. "Load bearing" Are we supporting a roof with these? Must be a technical term "Some of the most efficient load bearing speakers are the best sounding speakers out there" Seth.
