B&W DM110 info wanted
P E Smee
sitting around, as a set of remotes, but I have misplaced all the tech
info I had on them. Can anyone oblige? (Mail would be fine, I doubt
that this is of general interest.) Note that these are the earlier B&W
DM110, not the more recent upgraded DM110i type. (Though they are
probably similar in the important respects, so 110i info might help.)
What I'm looking for are impedance (I *think* they are 8 ohm),
sensitivity (either dB/w or just a general low/med/high -- high can't
be right) and max power capabilities, and a reminder of whether they
prefer being set against a wall, in a corner, or out in free space.
(When last used, they lived in bookshelves because that was the only
place they'd fit, but I'm sure that's not ideal. :-)
Claimed frequency response would be interesting as well, but is not a
real issue as I already know (empirically) that it is at least as wide
as the freq range of my aging ears. :-)

I found my old brochure for my old DM220 and it had all the information
about the DM110, so you're in luck:
Impedance and efficiency: nominal 1 watt into 8 ohms for a s.p.l.
of 90 dB at 1m
Power handling: Suitable for amplifiers with with 10 to 75 watt output
Any other spec is virtually meaningless, but I will give you the frequency
response anyway since you're curious:
+- 3 dB, 70 Hz to 20 KHz.
You know I should not be downgrading specmanship since I am in the
measurement business. I should be promoting it. Audio specs are
really for quality control in manufacturing and a goal for R&D. The
customer just needs to hear the final product and know if it good enough.
Disclaimer - Yep, that disclaimer again. My employer probably hates my
postings and may or may not agree.
