recommend entry-level high-efficiency loudspeakers

Hi,

I'm interested in building a shortlist of entry-level high efficiency loudspeakers suitable for use w/ lower powered tube amps, including single-ended triode setups. It's been a while since I actively researched audio gear and have never looked into high-efficiency designs in any detail.

I will define entry-level as absolutely no more than $1000 USD new but preferably speakers that are in the ~$500 USD used range.

Thanks for your thoughts.

FYI on the Klipsch Forte speakers: I was strongly advised by a former Klipsch sales person who is also technically inclined to get the Forte II speaker rather than the Forte. I don't remember the tech diffs but there were a few per John; he said it is worth seeking out the later model.

High quality solid state gear should work fine although you only need a few watts (less than 10 for sure) to make these speakers work well. Any noise at all will be ruthlessly revealed through such sensitive speakers.
