Soliloquy's flagship speaker, the model 6.5, is superbly built and is excellent value for money. The Soliloquy 6.5, at 53 inches tall, 10 inches wide and 15.5 inches deep, is a big speaker and puts out some serious bass with a -2dB point of 23 Hz...

Aaahh

but the Catch 22 ...

what is the Sensitivity ..??

Continuing the sensitivity theme, the AN-E/Lexus is Audio Note's most efficient design with their largest cabinet (31" x 14" x 10.5", HxWxD) and rated sensitivity of 94dB/W/m. With a frequency response is from 18Hz to 23kHz (-6dB), they appear to not need any band aids like a subwoofer...

The Edgarhorn Vintage Titan Speakers with Seismic Subwoofer is a three-way horn speaker with a decidedly retro look. Its folded mid-bass horn employs a vintage 12-inch JBL professional woofer, the JBL K-120. A vintage professional JBL 2440 or 2441 compression driver mounted to a 300 Hz round horn produces the mid-to-high frequencies. The sensitivity is around 106 db...

I like this pic of the Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand with five drive-units which are all newly designed by Vienna: a 1.1" hand-coated, silk-dome tweeter (made by ScanSpeak), a 6" X3P-cone midrange driver, and three transparent, 7" XPP Spidercone woofers. While they're all mounted on the same baffle, the midrange is internally isolated in its own chamber (its rear port shares the rear baffle with the larger woofer port). The result is 21" of woofer power that, thanks to being divided among three drivers, promises to be able to move a great deal of air...

Would anyone put this speaker system in their top 10? Since 2001 Terry Cain has been building single driver of high sensitivity using natural solid woods or natural wood-ply cabinetry with no metal screws, brads or rivets holding the cabinet together... I wonder what they sound like?

low sensitivity speakers just dont have the Impact that Klipsch, Altec have

In that case Duke, you leave me no choice. I now present to all who desire 'impact', the new Altec Lansing A7. The original 'Voice of the Theatre' has returned in all it's technicolor glory and widescreen splendor. Handbuilt of 13 layer baltic birch ply, the A7 can be yours for a mere $6,000 each. Enjoy...
