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.

I've not heard the Tektons, but am aware they get a lot of (+ & -) talk around here.  So, when I saw a Stereophile review of the DI recently, I skimmed through it.  They did get a good review and I believe made the Recommended Speakers list. 

However, on the test bench their sensitivity was estimated at 87.5db, which is quite a bit lower than claimed.  Perhaps this is one of the reasons there are such varying opinions on these speakers.  If you're buying them because you wish to use a low power amp and need "highly efficient" speakers, you may well be disappointed by what appear to be speakers of average sensitivity.
