Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: TruSonic, efficiency

Thanks, that's more than I found.

Is it generally the case that the older 3-way speaker (anybody's) had to be more efficient than the recent/ current versions ?

I'm only guessing this insofar as a Sixties amp wasn't going to be hundreds of watts and able to drive an 84 db/w sort of speaker.

(Looking for a rule of thumb that says the further you get --in speaker timeline-- back toward low-power amps, the higher the efficiency the speakers are likely to be... )

And I'd much rather drive these spkrs with something like an El34 tube amp than start looking for a solidstate alternative.
