I'm seriously thinking about getting the SSF-7000, but I'd like to know the sensitivity rating on these speakers. Can anyone answer the question?

Spec wise I think they rate they at 90db. It doesn't take a whole lot of amplifier to make them sound good. I'm using 110 watts max on my Sony system and 100 watts on my Okyo system. Of course I'm only using a fraction of the power settings.

Preface: I am NOT an audiophile. However, I believe it's contingent upon the AVR. I believe mines goes to 70db and the speaker handles every bit although I try not to pish it that high.

I think they're pretty solid. They seem able to get pretty low in terms of frequency response. Mount them in a well made box and play around with your input power and gain and you can tune them pretty nicely. These are NOT 10 or 12" subwoofers. I would say a pair of these compares to a nice high power 10" or lower power 12".

Hi Ive only had them for about a year and havent used them much as ive been doing small gigs and only needed the speakers of the same brand.Ive found the speakers great for djing nice and clear and a nice bass sound to.Ive bought 2 speakers ex display from why buy new one of those went within a short time but lucky it had a year warentee but the relaplacent they sent back was an older model.I bought new ones and bass bin from thomann from germany and they give a fantastic 3 year warentee.Hope this helps Thanks from barry.

Thang:Again thank you for your helpful response. I will now shop for a sub, and hopefully complete my system soon. It is a more difficult task than I first thought.I have the Bose single cube speakers that I plan to use, but I am unable to determine the ohm rating of these speakers. Can you assist me with this. I have been studying the 806 manual and the speaker ohm rating is one entry that needs to be input by me. Hopefully I will be able to get things up and running soon. Thanks.Charles

I bought these for my granddaughters. They r thrilled with them. That is the extent of my knowledge of the speakers. Sorry

No, these are amazing! I bought a pair B stock for $230 off of Ebay (after $20 Bing cashback), and I love them! I have had them for several weeks now with no issues. The only minor expected problem is a tiny rattle in the left speaker when playing LOW bass, as in below 40 Hz. But it's very slight, and as I said, expected. For $230, I couldn't be happier. Here's the link to the speakers on eBay (sorry it's so long): http://cgi.ebay.com/Audioengine-5-Speakers-White-B-Stock-Free-Shipping_W0QQitemZ260493630912QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item3ca6a15dc0 The black pairs are all out unfortunately.

They sound great. Think the manufacturer recommends setting to 100hz, I run mine at 80hz crossover and they sound perfect. Guess if you set to 50hz to find out, but would not recommend it, 80hz is the thx setting anyway. It would probably do 50-60hz no problem, but draw extra power from the receiver, when it should be for your mains.

the sensitivity is the key word. you would need a speaker with 93db sens. at least...96db is bether... check your speaker sens.on the label on the back if it is under 92db you should consider much more powerfull amp.

Are they 2400 Watts Continuous? 2400 Watts Program? Peak? Is that the rating for each speaker or only one? What is the nominal impedance of each speaker? It is important to know all of these things to make the correct suggestion.I assume that they are probably rated at 600 Watts continuous (1200W Program/2400W Peak) because it is rare to find 1200W and 2400W (continuous) 15" drivers.Also, how loud do you plan on playing them? Do you need them running at full volume or do you just want to listen to them at "normal" levels in your home and maybe somewhat louder on occasion? Heck, just tell the name and brand of speaker; that will be the most helpful. Are they 2400 Watts Continuous? 2400 Watts Program? Peak? Is that the rating for each speaker or only one?

Your guess as as good as mine. I enjoy mine almost every day, but they are wired up to my audio amp. My guess is that Amazon is so fond of these speakers that they want everybody to notice them, regardless of the section they're browsing.

I've got cats in the house and I have the speakers about as close to the wall and to my entertainment center (so they don't get behind the center itself!). Bass reflex response is excellent, even at close wall proximity, though I would say better low frequency response would result if they were pulled out a little. I've had these speakers for quite some time and they've been an excellent replacement for my old Cerwin Vega(s). Hope this helps you out.

That's an excellent question. I wish I knew its answer, too. One thing is clear to me, these speakers have decent sound for the price. But, if you love your bass, don't expect much from their low frequencies. If you like bright &#128262; sound, these are the right speakers for you.

The sound quality is a nice clear crisp sound through both speakers. The sub produces an abnormal sound it's not like most subs to where the bass is somewhat dragged instead its more smooth and clear. Now, the Genius is apparently the better set statistically having 6 more watts, but unfortunately I have never owned a pair of those speakers myself. I guess it comes down to what you are using them for. My best guess would be to review the MOST recent 5,4,3,3,1 star comments of the Genius to determine if there are any problems.

Mine is rated the same and it seems to be working fine though I never really play at high volumes. Great speakers

I bought the ssf-5000s and put them in my man cave and afer hearing them bought another pair for the house but not sure if they will overwhelm my other polk bookshelf speakers hooked to the surround system

Speaker wattage doesn't mean a great deal unless they are powered speakers; that's why the powered subwoofer is listed at 100W. The satellite speakers have an impedance of 8 ohms and are rated to handle between 10 and 100 watts. As others have noted, this is a wired system. I have mine installed on the ceiling (and the white speakers blend in very nicely with the white ceiling), and they sound really great. I'm using a 100W receiver and these speakers are plenty loud well before reaching the midway point on the receiver's volume setting. Great sound at this price point.

These speakers have a great frequency range. They should do ok. To get strong midrange, you really need multiple small woofers(like these) I would suggest using this pair in conjunction with your current pair to get a stronger midrange frequency boost. Especially with a "very strong sub". Or purchasing towers with multiple small drivers. Just a suggestion. On a side note, speaker position in relation to seating position is very important, more so for 2 channel listening. Room acoustics are also a huge factor. Perhaps repositioning your speakers would help with this issue? Food for thought.... Happy listening ☺ These speakers have a great frequency range. They should do ok.
