A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.

I think you're overcomplicated this process. Listen to the music and choose what sounds right "to you". I personally own Tekton Moab's.

@jijoh123 , are those going for 5k a pair?

I run a set of ZU, Omen Def Supremes powered by the Pass Labs XA25 in a 25x21’ room. My system sounds awesome and I don’t ever want for more power. The speakers are 105 lb ea that might not work for every one. The foot print is only 15x15”.

++++1 for the Volti Razz

I do not own them (I may very well buy their big brother Luceras in 2025), but I do get to listen to them on occasion as 2 friends own them. 97db at 6 ohms so easy to drive, and dynamic as hell, can be found for under $5,000 used for sure. They seem to match up well with SS and tube amps

Not sure how their frequency response measures, as it is so room dependent

@vthokie83 I have researched the Volti Razz. Living in southern Illinois allows a trip to the factory for a listen. I have to say that i think they may be too much for my room.

Understood. Still might be worth a conversation with Greg, he's great to talk to and may have an opinion one way or the other
