not high efficiency.SPL out per watt in simply isn't the same thing as fraction [or percent] of electrical power converted to acoustic power.
There's overlap, but it's not complete, and the late Mr. (Dr.?) Linkwitz' comment probably reflects the difference -- I presume he meant that broad band reproduction without an enclosure to help takes a lot of electical oompf. Unfortunately, we can't ask him.
