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.

@kennesawjet The speaker I was talking about is the Alon Lotus SE MkII if you click the link in my post you'll see a review and photos. However you're using a 500 watt SS amp I'm pretty sure speaker efficiency isn't your issue.

I you like the Alon sound and want something easier to drive check out the Alon Lotus SE MKII should be pretty affordable used if you can find a pair. Higher efficiency and impedance plus they use an Alnico midrange driver and an outboard crossover. I used them, and loved them, with a variety of tube amps. We moved to a smaller apartment and I had to let them go. Here's an old review on them:
