Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

So, how low can a 100dB sensitivity speaker go?




It's difficult to give a single number because it depends heavily on the speaker's physical size and design.

Small, highly sensitive speakers (e.g., bookshelf speakers): These might struggle to go much below 60-80Hz without a significant drop-off in output or increased distortion.
Larger, highly sensitive speakers (e.g., floorstanding speakers, horn-loaded designs): These can extend lower, perhaps down to 40-50Hz, and in some cases even lower. True horn-loaded speakers, known for their extreme efficiency, can achieve impressive bass extension, but they tend to be very large.
