Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions


Apologize if this is redundant but the threads here all seem to recommend horn speakers for tube amps.

@alphonsodamato : High efficiency makers (>95 db) - wide range of prices. All made in North America or have dealers in North America (one or two exceptions)

Would also focus on impedance - with these sort of speakers should be able to have 8 or 6 ohms. Would not buy a 4 ohm speaker

At 90 - 95db sensitivity, there are additional brands not mentioned below (which your amp would easily drive, if the speaker is 8 or 6 ohms)

Caintuck (open baffle, mostly)

Classic Audio

Coherent Audio

Creation Audio (Australia, however)

Cube Audio

Daedalus

Fern & Roby

Fleetwood Sound ($)

Goodwin Speakers

Lii Audio

NSMT

Ocellia (France, $)

Omega Speakers (mentioned above)

Pure Audio Project (open baffle)

Spatial (open baffle)

Zu

(The Salks and Ascends mentioned above seem to be of pretty ordinary efficiency, unless I am missing something. Left out Klipsch because of large footprint. I may have left out something mentioned above it’s by accident)

Fun question - let us know as you start to narrow things down, would be great to hear your thinking!

Have a great day

Forgot one - Pi Speakers in Arizona. Never heard them, just know they make 95db+ speakers

Also WHT out of Australia, though serious $
