| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? @alerrico Wrote: For the huge 30 AMP monster AMP I would run dedicated circuit with double breaker. It already has a 30 AMP NEMA plug to prevent plugging into a standard 110 outlet. FWIW: I run the Crown studio Reference 1 Amp on a 240 Volt 20... | |

| Sensitivity 86 v 90 @lloydc Wrote: I do like having 90 db efficiency, I like having 2.7% efficiency and 96 dB sensitivity! 😎 Mike | |
| Sensitivity 86 v 90 @lloydc Wrote: Sensitivity 86 v 90 My question is, would the decreased efficiency be a concern? No! The two speakers have the same efficiency. Changing the impedance of the speaker will change the voltage sensitivity, not the efficiency --... | |
