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.

Kirtgunn mentioned engagement, yes, this was what hooked me on first listening to stock Klipschorns in my system. Part of this engagement for me was this uncanny sense of live performers in my room, something I'd not heard prior with the many speakers I'd previously owned.

 

 A number of years later, the Klpschorns are now after umpteen modifications  like a living, breathing entity brought to life by an elixor of SET amps, DHT preamp and  high resolving source. I'll never leave my horns.
