Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Right and Wrong

Right and wrong at the same time.

All the Avantgarde models come with amplifier for the woofers, so their efficiency (or lack thereof) is moot.

The Community M200 used in the midrange of the Trio is about 108.5dB/W on a horn with a Di=7. The horn they are on looks like a tractrix, and could very well have a Di=10, and thus it would be 111.5dB. It very well may be that high as they have a special voice-coil made for their M200 so as to not have to use a resistive pad in the network.

Same comments apply to the Beyma CP380M they use for the tweeter.

The link is a similar HF driver from Faital Pro on a tractrix horn, it looks like you could claim it to be 110dB (which they do).

Note, the Beyma is on a CD horn, so it would have more HF on the type of horn in the Trio.
