As Oz has pointed out..the FTA's aren't super sensitive. But with a very benign impedance, 50 wpc channel is still plenty for most rooms. Also as Oz has pointed out,it will depend on your taste in music whether they're a speaker for you.
Not sure if your familiar with most single drivers. Most don't go below 80 hz. This is one thing this speaker does very well..which is get low. You'll give up ultimate SPLs though and maybe that last bit of air. Being a TL speaker..the bass is very tight and well defined. No boomy bass from the FTAs.
Large single drivers also beam a bit. Meaning the ultimate sweet spot is small. I equate the sweet spot of the Brines too that of Electrostats like the Martin Logans and the like. Just like MLs though..once you're locked into that sweet spot, you get EXTREME midrange resolution.
There will be a trade off with any speaker..you must decide what is best for you though.
Good listening!
