I did a couple searches with no results, though I'm sure this has been discussed before. I have a pair of 2226's. I have a feeling they take a good bit of power to get the stiff suspension to really take off. Playing at 90db is a lot more fun than at 75db and a 30w amp makes these come to life more than a 2w amp - nevermind the 97db spec. Have others found that to be ture? But my bigger question goes to this, what is the optimum range for these guys? I see stuff that says 600hz tops, and not below 60. I see specs that seem to suggest 45 on the bottom is easy, and up to 2.5k on the top. So what is really the best bet? Here is where I'm going on this... in a two way system, do I really want a 0.5way speaker? I mean, if it is really only good for 70hz to 600hz, and needs 30+ watts, should I sell these and get a different woofer?
