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.

What are you talking about? A light weight vehicle with a big horsepower motor will blow the doors off a heavy vehicle with the same motor.

I have Emerald Physics 3.4s Open Baffle @ ~ 99dB. No flea amp here. My amp is a LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp (500w+ at 4ohms): they are very happy together!

I had a similar experience: Decades ago I had Genesis Vs, designed by Arnie Nudell, which combined a triangular shaped head (open baffle midrange + front and back circular ribbon tweeters) below were externally powered woofers. I went through many highly regarded amps trying to get a happy marriage. Nothing made magic until I bought a Kinergetics KBA 75 (Class A) only then did they come to life. You might check with the factory, or ask on the boards, or here specifically what amp works best with...
