Good speakers less efficient?


I've noted that many of the better speakers are 4 Ohm and not very efficient. What high performance attribute causes this correlation?

I agree most mid to large size speakers suck most amps dry.
I just looked at the Tyler Linbrook Signature System, a WMTMW design. Ty rates it at 4 ohms/92 db. I demoed my small Jadis OR with them and had no trouble at all.
Which testifies to the super high quality of trans on the Jadis and the fact that Ty knows how to design a crossover to make this impressive and imposing speaker work fine with a 40 watt tube amp. Classical Orchestra sounded rich and beautiful sound sound stage.
Good point for a topic.
Big deal the speaker is large and full range. What sort of power requirements does it need?
