speaker question

rock verb (mono_tones_1) - 25 Sep 2002 07:43:05

hi,
can anyone give me some info on speakers? I've been offered two speakers for
a very reasonable price, but don't know anything about speakers.
they are 15" 150W ALTEC's. the thing is, they are 'high efficiency'
speakers, giving a lot more "volume per amp-watt", supposedly. 105Db, the
guy told me (to me this is al yabba yabba, though)
the way it works is that there is very little space between the magnet and
the coil, which results in higher output. they have alnico magnets (this
seems to be good?)
anyway, they were used in an old disco P.A. system, and they are in good
concition. The guy selling them is a friend of mine who is specialized in
tube hi fi equipment, but knows nothing about musical instruments. I don't
know about speakers either.
does anyone know whether these 'high efficiency' speakers would work for
guitar or bass amps, or would the little space between magnet and coil give
problems?
thanx, wannes
