The generality of stuff sounding better at or above 90db is certainly not true now. It might have been back in the 70’s with the relatively inexpensive equipment we were able to afford then. Certainly not true now as a generality.
looking for a more efficient speaker.....
some thing with a higher then my current rated 86 alon IV. something more easier to drive. i love the way the sound but i have to drive them at 1-2 oclock to get the best sound and then you start to hear the strain. let me know, i dont have big pockets so keep that in mind, plus i like floor standing types.
