The ATC site specs the efficiency at 85 but I wouldn't be surprised if it tests out a bit lower. So for very dynamic music such as well recorded classical music a very big amp will be a good idea to handle those very short massive peaks sometimes in classical music and to properly show the ability of this speaker to handle the peaks linearly. It can be amazing how huge the peaks are relative to the average level of music, sometimes over 30 dB above average.As a good friend who manufactured 400 watt triode tube amps(that were underated) liked to say. A good big one will beat a good little one every time. There may be a few exceptions for VERY efficient speakers but those are few and far between. And ATC speakers are on the low side of efficiency, the price paid for their other good qualities.
