Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 1771 Registered: Feb-04 | New definition of sensitivity: Q: These are small speakers, what if I like to rock at high volumes? A: This is the main reason we've included two midrange units, so that output will not be compressed at higher volumes. There are some loudspeakers, many of them horn loaded, that will deliver higher SPL's, but even hard- core rockers (we have one on staff) will be surprised at not only the sheer volume these speakers can generate (including bass you can feel) but also the huge soundstage and sense that you're in a large auditorium at a live concert. The HR-1 is rated to handle 105W of unclipped music material, at anything over 2w we can hear the music outside this building. We're quite confident that our speakers produce more undistorted output than anything anywhere near their size, and more than most full-sized speakers as well. Also, and don't try this at home, kids... We use a professional grade 400W/ch amp here at the design studio... can you see where I'm going here? Yes, we wanted to know what would happen if someone got a little carried away sometime. One of the pairs of HR-1 we kept for demo's put out some incredibly loud and unbelievably undistorted sound with the power meters pegged and the clipping indicators flashing every few seconds. That's 400 watts my friends, you'd be hard pressed to find many full size speakers that can swallow that without damage. Disclaimer: No, we don't support doing this with our speakers, they are rated at 105W. So instead of providing a sensitivity rating, they tell you that at anything over 2w, they can hear the music outside this building. |
