Here's an idea which I wasn't expecting.
Wendell's boss needs to give him a raise.

Was the efficiency of this model always so poor? I was considering these speakers for a future upgrade, but it looks like the efficiency 85/1/2.83 Volts.

That would require significant power, and likely would require a different amp then I have now.

Shame.

The efficiency was always like this, so to drive them best you really need a good stable amp with good headroom and healthy power. I made a change from two AVM M2 evolution monoblocks each delivering 270w at 4 Ohm to one MC2 audio MC 1250 with  more then 1,2kW at 4 ohm and the change was more then significant, almost like I had a new pair of speakers at home.
So you need power, no matter what the say... :|

Does anyone know if the 20.7's can be biamped or if that option has been removed like the changes with the 3.7's?

I actively biamp my 20.1's and use 4 x 1,000 watts.

One of the reports indicated that they can't be biamped.
