Hi Mike,

You should consider their being very good at this then. 1 pW is the
lowest limit of hearing at 1KHz. No speaker/transducer is 100%
efficient. So, automatically, this claim you have read is suspect in
the highest degree.


Hi Richard,
What do you think of this guys numbers and methodology?
He says he can hear .0078 pw with a Adastra Model: 952-207
