Recommendations for best most efficient speakers


Perhaps it is a misnomer, but tubes require very efficient speakers. Since I love tube integrateds, I am looking for recommendations on the best, most efficient hi-fi speakers available for someone on a mid-fi budget. I am looking for sensitivity ratings >= 94DB. I have found a few, but they are cost prohibitive.

Thanks in advance for you help..

Thanks for the article. I knew some of the topics discussed, but it was very informative. It still begs the answer of better efficiency for lower powered amplifiers. Although there was a great point made by Celtic66 and the inference made in the article. High efficiency does not equate to high quality sound. I have a Jolida JD-202A, which is fairly good integrated tube amp and should conservatively drive most of the speakers out there, including those that are in the sub-90db range. I guess I just need to take the suggestion and lug my tube amp around the shops and have a listen.
Thank you Audiokinesis for the clarification. It seems logical and I am really tempted to test the waters a bit more before diving into loudspeakers.
