Agree with Duke's excellent assessment but I might add that one might not need super efficient, "big box" speakers in this scenario. A speaker with efficiency in the 90 to 95 range would work quite well with low powered tube amps and have good, appropriate bass. A couple speakers that come to mind are Coincident, Reference 3a, Meadowlark, Merlin and Living Voice. All are average size speakers.
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.
