When using an amp directly coupled to a high sensitivity horndriver, what spec is most important to look at?
Is it the Signal-to-Noise ratio?
Which value is sufficient to keep it quiet? 90db a-weighted?

Could you list the ones that are available new please?


@ Pos & Bubbleboy:

Does the THX AAA 789 really handle an 8ohm load of a compressiondriver? It looks like it is only specifid for 16ohms minimum...
Have you driven these with serious spl levels yet? Or are these only suitable for moderate listening levels?
