EV Aristocrats / Seeking sensitivity info

I am looking for the sensitivity rating for my Electro Voice Aristocrat III. I have searched the internet without success.

These are the three way models with
SP12B 12" woofer, Mid T25A and T35. Tweeter. 16 ohms.

I believe they are fairly sensitive - maybe 95+db? But that is just a guess, anybody with good information? Thanks

To go from the old style RTMA sensitivity rating of 46.5dB 1mW/30 feet add 49dB, for a 1W/1M sensitivity of 95.5dB.

    It's from EV, on the data sheet. They long used weird methods. After 1mW/30 feet they went to 50w/4 feet. They didn't go to 1w/1m until the 1990s.

      My old catalog I have from the early 70's use the old RTMA rating for sensitivity.
