Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Forget about the term efficiency

Electrical load vs. Frequency and Phase Angle vs. Frequency can't be quantified into a single measures over the entire frequency range. Most LS3/5As (certainly the 15 ohm versions) work "reasonably well" with as little as 3W and very well with 8W, even though they are 82 or so dB sensitive. Of course, they have limitations that even 100W of any kind of amp can't overcome. So do Audio Note Ks, although they do not present quite so benign a load as an LS3/5A. Js, and E and HE E's, of course, do a better job due to their higher sensitivity. But if you are living in Japan and your living room is 3Mx3M (if you are that lucky), the smaller the box, the better!

Wait and see.
