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.

If you are hearing the Alons strain, you are probably under powering them.

Well I guess power ain’t an issue……

Since you are itching to try a more sensitive speaker, I'll recommend the Klipsch Cornwall IV. But likely as not, you'd want to change the amp too.

But that DNA must be at least 25 years (or more) old. Although I love Steve's amps, that is a little long in the tooth. And a very sensitive speaker will be happier with a lower powered amp, preferably tubes.
