Platsolos,
I infer from your email that most/many book-shelf speakers are inefficient. Is that what you meant to say?
If so, I dis-agree! Atleast 1 model from GR Research (Diluceo) & the one from Green Mountain, several from B&W & from Dynaudio are of much higher efficiency: 89 - 91dB.
There was a very good review I read on the M100 recently that said that it "loves" a low imp. speaker: 4-8 Ohms but the reviewer wouldn't use it w/ a speaker w/ over 8 ohms imp. Here is the link to the review, if you haven't read it already:

I eyed these amps very longingly but ended up getting something else (which I'm very happy with, BTW). FWIW.
