Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

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

RE: Which are the most efficient speakers?

I'd be interested to know why you are asking.

There are of course advantages of high efficiently but also disadvantages of taking this to extremes. These speakers reproduce minute signals as loud sound. What do they do with noise from amplifiers or anything else in the supply chain? They exaggerate this noise dramatically. Thus choice of amp is far more important as you go up the efficiency scale - to the extent that tube amps are generally too noisy for very high efficiency speakers - at least to those listeners who don't want to put up with any sound that didn't exist at the live recording. This is a shame as horns of moderately high efficiency are often teamed very successfully with tube amps.
