Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

Free lunch ?

Is it possible you are expecting a free lunch?

Compact size, high efficiency, good bass response - you can only have two at a time, there's no way around this. The midrange peak sounds like cone breakup, again, This is one of the reasons why tweeters exist. Then add to the mix a SET amplifier, with its high output impedance, and the frequency reaponse will rise with the impedance of the speaker and make cone breakup sound all the more nasty unless there's some sort of zobel network or a copper shorting ring in the speaker driver.

I haven't heard a single driver I would rank with a good two or three way setup, and can't see how it is technically possible except maybe for an expensive 8" - 12" driver in a big cabinet or big open baffle.
