[QUOTE="jdza, post: 21645"] Mmmm Lets see:Each of the 38cm diameter Altec woofers has an efficiency of 103db/W when horn loaded. There are 5 per channel so +/- 110db/W. As they are effectively corner loaded and in a 2 channel system.,the 350W available from the McIntosh 352 should drive them to 131.2 db at the listening position 5 meters away.That is 1.2db above the treshold of pain.Of course the massive 2 watts available to drive the mids means only about 113db-so yes ,organs are out. :-[ [IMG]http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8540/wooferspj0.jpg[/IMG] But seriously there is a classic photo of a symphony orchestra accompanied by a row of Kef 105s ,each driven by a Quad 405 , reproducing an organ being played live (some miles away).
