The ES 14 has a reasonably high sensitivity, 2.83V of B-weighted pink noise raising an estimated 87dB/W/m. Coupled with this highish sensitivity, it is very easy to drive, as shown by the plots of impedance magnitude and phase (figs.1 and 2). It drops below 8 ohms only in the very top octave, and then to just 7.2 ohms. I would have said that this combination of sensitivity and easy impedance characteristic would make the ES 14 a prime candidate for being driven by a classic tube amplifier. Note, however, the large swing in impedance value, particularly in the bass and upper midrange. This will mean that the speaker's sound will become exaggerated in these frequency regions when used with a tube amplifier with a high output impedance. The resultant tonal balance may depart too far from strict neutrality to be acceptable, given that the ES 14 is already a little forward-balanced in the upper midrange.
