RE: 89db sensitivity and an 8-ohm load

Gosh it genuinely never occurred to me to try asking the Depth to do that.

Best I can do is 70hz high pass. That doesn't help. The celestion 5's at anything approaching row H (I like row K) is impossible. Back a bit in first balcony? Most stuff, yes, lovely.

Anything more, both speakers, putting test tonism aside, basic piano sonata stuff. Big left hand chord = audible (foam earplug, ear next to driver) cone breakup, a kind of fuzziness or dry-wool sound clearly marking the fact, oops, cannot do this, driver will not transmit. These are modest boxes and were designed modest. High praise if volume <9:00. 9:00, depends.

So my thinking is, realistically, what does that high pass need to be? I do not think 100 would cut it, not significantly. I think to get to Row H these boxes need 200hz. And that is me basically roleplaying a seller ;)

I will see. A high pass is a high pass. They are specced at 70hz [edit: 75hz} but any cut might be much improvement? Hmm. Thanks. I'll report back as the seson (baseball) progresses.
