To spare my remaining active braincell (see other recent post) could
someone kindly tell me what the speaker sensitivity figure for 1 Watt
would be if the brochure (IMF TLS 80s) quotes:

'Efficiency measured via Pink Noise at 1 metre for 40 Watts = 98 dB'


That's 82dB


I should have read the question properly shouldn't I ?

Yes. It's 82dB (AES method). That's remarkably insensitive.

It's a TLS. And it uses the good old B139 driver, which was never the
loudest. A friend of mine bought a pair when they were new and I seem
to remember he paid a fortune for them. I did a quick measure-up and
went home and built my own pair for less than a tenth the price. I
used them for quite a while.
