bottleneck
talks a load of rubbish
well, in all honesty mate I would have said that the original CDMSE's I heard needed a bit of a belt to get them moving aswell. The Talismans were ... 89db from memory, which isnt that bad.
I really do like to see speakers whipped to within an inch of their lives though - it really wakes em up.
Thats the problem with a lot of speakers (nearly all!!) they need a shit-load of power to sound good.
I know its very untrendy to reccomend
mission!
shock horror! but with a 50w amp, the 753's I heard sounded belting.
You might want to PM badchamp about those Audio Physics. Maybe they can sing without too many watts. I think that is probably quite likely, as Badchamp had a 20w amp. Although that was a valve amp. Its a helluva price he's got them offered at IMHO.
At the end of the day, theres quite a few bargains listed above, its just a case of trying to match system/room requirements and taking a punt if you cant hear them first I guess.
Good luck
Chris
