The way I see it is that if the higher SPL speaker is more sensitive it takes less signal to get it moving. The lower SPL speaker (remember I am really talking about a significant mismatch) would need a bigger signal. Hence at the same signal yes, the higher SPL speaker "should" be doing more work (though not working harder, as in working nearer to the limit of it's capabilities), more efficiently, but the lower SPL speaker might not be getting much of a look in.

Ok... 2 Identical speakers...
Hi again!
I've concluded that i'm still going to have my 5E3 with two 12" speakers.
Now, i've been searching around for speakers everywhere, and i really can't make my mind up. Please could someone give me a bit of advise...
Right, i want (you're probably fed-ip of hearing this) the same sort of tone that neil young has - and the same sort of break-up. Which speaker would suit me best? Possibly a Weber 12A125A? Or a Jensen?
Also, a quick query: as i am having two speakers in parallel, should i go for two 20W speakers? Won't that mean their total power is 40W? What would be the harm in having two speakers with say 35W each?
Thankyou so much for all your help guys!

Basically,
I really want to buy my speakers as soon as possible.
What wattage of speaker do i need? I am using 2 x 12" speakers in parallel. I've got 6L6's in my 5E3.
Please post!

You would be best off with 2x25W minimum speakers. Ideally, speakers are rated for twice the amp's RMS output, though in the old days construction methods meant that manufacturers did not always have the luxury of overrated speakers.
By itself, wattage has little relevance as to how your speaker will sound or perform.Comment
