correct me if Im wrong but the 416 woofer was considered to be the medium efficiency woofer in their theatre and pro line, and ITS sensitivity is 97db!
The 515 went from 99-104 depending on which model 515. But NONE of the 515,s were lower than 99db!
Now the 421 MI series. Well, these were just the MOST efficient ever. Watt for watt they produced more SPL than everything! It had a distinct, though not accurate sound.
What Im getting at is that THIS aint NO REAL A7. Looks like it, but aint gonna sound like it! Not at 97db acoustic output 1w at 1m!
For $8600 I WANT HIGH EFFICIENCY!
Matter of fact, how about we get high efficiency back because it happens to sound really good.
I said it before, and Ill say it again. The NEW A7 is nowhere near as efficient as their ancestors were.
FEH!
