What makes a High Efficiency Speaker


Can someone explain the “high efficiency speaker” as opposed to a “regular speaker”?
Are there certain recognized parameters that a speaker has to meet?
If so what are those parameters.
And some pointers in what to look for in this type of speaker.
Who is the recognized leader in this field and which companies make them?

I would presume Wilson Whamm's are in there but I was more interested in a slightly lower priced item.

(I spent my lunch money on the new Buggatti)

Thanks

Just as a point of reference, my Coincident Total Eclipse are 94db 1Watt @ 1m, 14ohms, 24hz-25khz. No horns here except on the vinyl! Happy Listening!
