Depending on configuration, often anywhere from 97-103dB is quoted.
I do believe my pair will eventually meet my active crossovers at some point in the future, but that Altec midrange, esp low midrange, is compelling.

Looks great, how it perform with a small tube amp?

Will get to my tube amps in due time as well. It's a bit funny, but my tpa3255 amp on battery power is really sounding gorgeous on these

Those Carmels are very nice with those dual woofers but seem very rare. I almost bought Valencias a few times, but most of these vintage Altecs command high prices especially if in nice condition.
