Why Hardly Any High Efficient Bookshelf Speakers?


Been searching high and low. Okay, I know of Omega and Klipsch, but what else above 95db? What gives? Is there a special problem in making bookshelf speakers this sensitive?

Yep there is - their size. Small resonance chamber makes for a tough load in general. This is especially true for "regular" cone type speakers. Whizzer cones and horns do much better.

I owned a pair of Omega TS1s and they were very nice although a little thin sounding in general - not a fault really, just their character. They were neat speakers with infallible build quality. Good luck though - the Omegas were what I ended up with after asking the same questions as you! Arthur
