but typically that's the endgame result. More power into a given motor means more distortion, more compression, more flux modulation. All of these things lead to heavy advantages in higher-efficiency speakers.
Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.

While greater efficiency carries with it some theoretical advantages if you are listening to wide dynamic range music at high volumes in most home listening contexts it is a minor issue. I, for one, have no desire to replicate concert hall or bar listening levels in my home, at least not on regular basis. Within their bandwidth and maximum volume limitations there are quite a number of relatively inefficient speakers that I would opt for in a heartbeat over the classic high efficiency speakers (Klipsch, Altec, JBL, Lowther, etc.) because I find them vastly less colored and far more faithful to the music. To make very broad generalization I find that good low to medium efficiency speakers at least equal and in many case exceed the resolution of the high efficiency speakers I have heard. I must confess, however, that I've listened to relatively few of the modern 95dB+ efficiency speakers but of the ones I've heard only the Avantgardes did much for me.

Thank you badman,
Meaning the (ultra) fidelity will suffer?
