Calling Zaph Audio ZD5 Owners

How loud could these speakers play? I think the 82db sensitivity spec would mean they'd need some serious juice or am I all backwards on this?

(Only asking because I'm trying to sweet talk the wife into letting me buy a pair...)

driving them with 50 watt ksa 50 clones and no gain in the pre stage and i get boundary distortion before i run out of juice, meaning they play plenty loud

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but, what is boundary distortion?

hi,
I'm building also the RBR KIT. If any of you has already mounted and tested them, I would much appreciate your help if you could tell me witch amplifier you are using with these RBR loudspeakers. I'm searching for a amplifier kit to do myself and match these low SPL speakers. Or if there is any other suggestion... I'm really lost with this subject, I would like to hear your experiences with these loudspeakers and your amp so I can get an idea of what type of amp I am looking for.
meanwhile I'm about to start this kit in a floor stand loudspeaker.
Thanks in advance
bye
