->I've seen them up to 115 but i'm sure there are higher.
-> TT> The Community RS-880 is rated at 131db @ 1w/1m ...
-> Surely you're not suggesting that any full range system, or even full
-> coverage high frequency array, can acheive such an efficiency as an i
-> comparable spec would reflect for it?
Terry:
Actually, I'm quite sure that the 2" compression driver used in the
RS-880 can smack that 131db rating rather nicely.  As for the 15" LF
drivers and the 1" HF driver, I don't know, but I agree with you that
they're probably nowhere near as efficient.
Community is known for making ridiculously efficient compression
drivers.  For example, their M-4 4" CD, when mounted on a narrow pattern
metal horn, is used by the Coast Guard's on-shore installations to warn
foreign vessels that they've left international waters and are
infringing on the United States' sovereign territory.  Typically these
announcements are given while the ship is still five miles from shore!
