Means High Efficinentcy, or requires very little amplifier power to drive to adequate sound levels. This permits low-powered Single-Ended connection Triode tube (SET) circuts, which some find more satisfying than push-pull pentode tube output designs. But irregardless of the amplifier circut or power, such speakers enable louder and/or greater dynamic range (the diff between soft & loud passages within the same music) with any given amplifier. Since the amplifier does not have to work as hard, it produces less distortion, too.
