Suggestions for high efficiency speakers?

I attended the Capital Audiofest and thought the Audio Note room had the best sound to my ears. Another attendee from Florida had a copy of "A Night in Tunisia" and it sounded like you were sitting in Art Blakey's chair with his drums right there in front of you. I want that palpability, that "you are there" sound I think low watt amps and high efficiency speakers deliver better than any other combination.

 

A couple years ago I heard the DeVore 96s at the same show and loved their sound, anyone know of other speakers that give the same sensations?

 

My system is a SOTA Sapphire w Sumiko MMT and Zu-modified Denon 103 into an Art Audio Vinyl One phono pre into a Lamm LL2 Deluxe pre into an Art Audio Jota SET power amp and into Joseph RM25 sigs.

You should definitely look into some of the offerings from Pure Audio Project.

Pure Audio Project

Like the Quintet 15 (if you have a large room), or the Quintet 10. Or maybe something in the Trio line.

Nice thing about these speakers (other than their sound quality), is they are sold as modules, so the choice of tweet/mids are flexible.

They have horn options, or Voxitive options, including optional field coil drivers.

And from my experience listening to them, is they seem to have a better focused image than most open baffle, high efficiency speakers. But that's just my impression.
