Brian,

They would work okay as a midbass up to around 200 Hz - but the efficiency is not as high as you may want for a mid-bass. The 1w/1m rating is pretty low on these as the design was made to get as much SUB bass as possible at the expense of efficiency up higher.

I have 2 E8s, will be ruunning them between 60 to 200 herts, will 200 watts be enough to power these as midbass? thanks..... Brian

Brian - with 200 watts the relatively low efficiency is not a huge deal, should be fine.

this is where my E8s may end up, my system will probably be 3-way all frontstage so i'm going to have to have a lot of low end coming out of my doors. we'll see how the E8s perform, hopefully they'll be installed within the next 1-2 years.
