"my basic instinct is always to just stick with conventional hifi drivers and use the 3dB every time you double rule to get the efficiency up"Isn't that true only if drivers are paralleled, which also halves the impedance with each doubling? In your example, the eight drivers in parallel with gain the suggested 9dB, but impedance will be reduced to 0.5 Ohm.

i'd use both series and parallel wiring to keep the impedance ideally at 4 ohms, or if not that, 8 ohms. parallel wiring halves the impedance, but series doubles it.
Then you don't get the gain quoted.
