High vs. Low Efficiency Speakers


Are there benefits / disadvantages to either?

I listen primarily to classical and prefer tube amps, does this lead me toward one speaker over another?

Lastly, I try to keep the music at a fairly low volume -- need to protect the hearing!

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.

no real advantages or bene's to either but choice of one dictates amp choices as a general rule of thumb..if you like Classical music and listen at low volumes a SET tube amp is strongly recommended and you'll need to partner with a high efficiency speaker design >90db and impedance flat at 8 ohms...this is a lifelike combo IMHO.
good luck,
