JDJohnson Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Thank you for sharing. A man I admire! With horns less wattage is needed plus less motion for lower distortion. I wonder if the unmentionable was Bose 901 that needs lots of wattage? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the unmentionable was Bose 901 that needs lots of wattage? Bose did not release the sensitivity ("efficiency") of the 901. As far as I can tell, the 901 needed approximately 20 times the power in watts as a Klipschorn to produce the same SPL at the same distance. So 25 watts --> Klipschorn (as loudly as I've ever dared play mine ~~~ 110 dB @ 13 feet in my room) = 500 watts into the Bose 901. Want to guarantee plenty of headroom? A modest power amplifier of 100 w.p.c. into a Klipschorn would equal 2,000 watts per channel into a 901. To properly power the Bose, you could get these: You would need all 6 units for 2 channel stereo. They can be yours for about $170,000. OR You could get this to power a couple of Khorns, for about $1,600: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
