What is the sensitivity rating on these speakers ?
1861715
I don't know the exact sensitivity# but I have had these installed for a couple months now. I am running them with a 800 watt 4 channel amp, and they are the best I have had. They just keep on amazing more and more.

Not at all...you may try to place these speakers away from any others appliances to test and see is there any more hiss. If you still have the same problem check your cables and ground. Good luck !

I have had no trouble with my speakers. They are great for such little things. I personally would return them to Amazon.

This is a difficult question as everything is subjective. However, as this is a relatively modest amp in terms of power, I'd suggest selecting speakers with a high sensitivity......certainly greater than 90 db. I have Tekton Pendragon speakers at 98 db sensitivity and they play loud! The advantage of the higher sensitivity speakers is you can use a lower powered amp and still get loud and transparent sound. Any of the speakers by Tekton or Zu audio would be good candidates, as these are considered "full range" and very well suited for tube amps. However, there are literally hundreds of choices out there.

Check fuses first. Then look at you high pass, full range and your low pass switch. Sensitivity also. Also your level min/max settings. If all else fails, contact planet audio.... they are great over there about walking you through installs.

I have sold the house I put these in but they are great sounding speakers . I suggest you verify via Yamaha website if the rated wattage is a concern. I am putting Yamaha in at the new house but a different style due to mounting arrangment

I measured them when I got them and they were something like 2.6. These are designed that way to accommodate OEM wiring, which I smaller gauge than aftermarket, and low powered radios. Installed the resistance is over 3, but that is less than using 4 ohm speakers. Actually, amps get more control, but require more power with higher resistance. That is way home stuff is 8 ohm. In a car power is limited by the alternator output. For matching, look at the RMS Watt rating of the amps and speakers and try to match 75% to 150% of the amp rating. Speaker sensitivity will also be a clue. A 3 dB difference means twice or half as loud. So a proper Watt RMS and as high a sensitivity possible is a good general rule. These are rated at 93 dB so they are better than most. Sensitivity is the measure of sound at 1 Watt power from 1 meter away.

The pair I purchased was 120 VAC. The do not really have a woofer. They are about a 4" midrange and a tweeter. Bass response is very poor and they sound very tinny. Even with all my adjustments. Said to say but I have an old Phillips "home surround sound system" that sounds better than these.

I believe these are 120 watts rms and 500 watts peak each, hope that helps. Note that even at 120 watts you will want the bass turned down a bit. These speakers ratings are not tested throughout the entire frequency range. 500 watts going through these speakers at a very low frequency would blow them apart.

They are 160rms and 330 peak power. If your looking for high cualety speakers i recomend you them.

I have the exact same problem. Going to return for replacement. I happen to have the speakers from the c-3602 set. I'm going to try them and see if they are imbalanced too. That will tell me if its the speakers or not.

I don't know you can check the specs link from the previous response. I do know that for the price these are great. They are durable and have great fit and good sound and there is no clicking or buzzing or hiss. I like them enough I bought two and might get more for my stash.

There is no published measurement of frequency response. However I can recommend buying a pair of the Companion 2 or 3 speaker systems for your PC They have a very good sound with all the games that are played on my PC The sound effects are awesome & come in with clarity. I know this isn't the exact answer you are looking for, but I would buy them again if anything ever happens to either set I own.

These speakers sound great for their size, price, and purpose However, they are not very sensitive. To get much good sounding volume you need to feed some good power. I have the similar amp made by dayton audio to feed my paradigm atoms which are far more sensitive than these. That amp at half volume starts adding distortion to the signal.

active noise attenuation = 18db @ 150 hz. sensitivity 112 db @ 3db. driver unit = 40mm.If your thinking of buying these get them. I bought 3 sets. 1 for @ home, 1 for @ work, & a spare just in case. I have bought many noise canselling & amp. headphonews, NOTHING ever came close to these...BEST head phones on the market..

i would look for something else. these dont have a very high db so its not very loud. plus they arent as crisp as a cerwin vega speaker. these distort too easily.

I don't remember but they are very good speakers I didn't have ni complaints about them just try them out with a J.B.L amp 6 to an 900 watts
