[QUOTE="Tim Weaver, post: 24718, member: 317"] Re: Should I modify my SR4732A'a or leave them stock? The 2206 is still 95dB 1w/1m. He is still using an XTi4000 on the 12's so the math still stands. He only has 1200 watts for the LF. By the time power compression kicks in on the woofs and our affinity for a laid back HF, I still say that 100 watts will do the job. I'm not saying "go find a 100 watt amp". Just trying to illustrate the point that HF drivers don't need nearly as much power as the mid and low drivers do. Sometimes I feel that the people on this forum are tossing out recommendations that don't make a lot of financial sense to the OP. Gary scored a super cheap set of low budget boxes. Does he need to spend an extra couple of C notes to get the "right" amp, or should he use what is available and cheap? If these were Meyer/EAW/Turbo/Nexo/D&B tour boxes it would be a different story. Also on a cabinet like this, I wouldn't worry 2 seconds about 10k and up. It may take 400 watts to get 10k up to our reference level, but at what listening position? dead center? 30 degrees off axis? 45?It may take 1000 watts to get 10k up to reference for that guy 45 degrees off axis.
