Yes, there are sensitive loudspeakers that'll go deeper, but I don't think he'll find more sensitive loudspeakers without going to theater horns. I mean, not that that would be a bad route with a 45 amp... ;)

45 is definitely a little borderline for fullrange amplification of big music. I (FWIW) consider 2A3 a little more practical -- even with biggish loudspeakers. :)

all the best,

They are 93 db/w/m, according to the review linked in his post. That's really not what one would call super efficient.
Plus, they only go down to 70 hz. He could get some Zu speakers that are a lot more efficient, and have deeper bass. Just an example, there are a lot of options, depending on budget.

- My apologies, Jack G. I had no idea there were any Lowthers that insensitive! (nt) - mhardy6647 18:05:31 02/27/24 (1)

  - It's the 10dB shelf filter ... - Paul Joppa 20:41:19 02/27/24 (0)
    ... that cuts the screechy lower treble. Without the filter, you can have 103dB (above 2kHz). Many highly-regarded "efficient" fullranges have this issue. Few are much better than 92dB/W/m in the piston range.
