'efficiency'....you means sensitivity, right? has little to do with it.....though combinations of low power, large rooms and low sensitivity speakers don't necessarily work well together especially if higher levels are expected....but IMO, the REAL problem may be phase angle.
For example, the LS3/5 series .... especially the original which was what? 16 ohm? 11 ohm? was indeed low sensitivity but fine with tubes because of mild phase properties.
IF the LS50....which the demo guy said were 'spiritual descendents of the LS design'....(parapharase) I'd expect them to behave with tubes.....even if Not Necessarily with the lowest powered among them or in larger rooms.
I think some testing is in order.....under reasonable conditions where it can be seen just how much power of quality you need for the LS speakers.
At THE Newport, they were very nice, indeed....but I don't know how much power was behind them.
Too much is never enough
