Thanks for the repley both Wayne and Sam.Actually I am looking for as much sensitivity as I can get, but my intention is to bi-amp and could stand to give up a little senstivity. I have access to a good deal on some new JBL2226 ($220.00 pair), and yes 16 ohm works well for me too! Size is not a key factor but I am looking for something as "musical" as I can get also would like to skip the sub and leave that out of the equation. Thanks for the info.
