Picked these up from a fellow just a couple of miles down the road a week or so ago. When I got home, plugged into the speaker outputs of a 5 watt tube amp that was handy. They sounded terrible......like playing through a tin can. Just about wrote them off as a bad buy (didn't pay much for them though, so wasn't too upset).
Today, plugged them into a Denon AVR-3600 receiver (110 WPC into 8 ohms) and gave then another shot. WOW!!!! What a difference. These things are power hungry like you would not believe. Had to turn up the volume to "00" (Dolby Reference Level) to get them to sing. Think they were made circa 1975.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Response: 10 - 25,000 Hz
Sensitivity: 98 ± 2 dB / mW ( at 1,000 Hz )
Maximum Sound Pressure: 110 dB
Cord: 1.9 m
Weight: Body 250 g , Transformer Box 570 g
