What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?


Consider both designs are done right and your other equipment is well matched with the speakers.  Do you have any preference when it comes to sound quality?  Is it matter of economic decision when it comes to price? - power amps can become very expensive when power goes up, on the other hand large,  efficient speakers are expensive as well.  Is your decision based on room size?  I'd love to hear from you on the subject.

@charles1dad , dogmatic maybe, presumptuous, not at all. What you are listening to is a study in colored inaccuracy. You can like it all you want but calling it accurate is a big stretch. 

To write off all SET in this manner is total nonsense. I've had ss class A and AB, push pull tubes with various power tubes, and SET with various power tubes. Low, medium and hgih sensitivity speakers with the above. So, it seems my evolution towards SET is in fact, a descent into inaccuracy according to mijostyn. I guess having living, breathing performers in room is in fact inaccuracy.

My Line Manetic Field Coils Speakers are 105db Sensitivity, Their are dynamic and yet smooth, musically invovling, My Classic Audio Loudspeakers are 100db Field Coils.

 

Both of these speakers to my ears give one dynamics as closer to live performance and as a result are more emotionally invovling and exciting to listen too. it does not bore you to death.

 

Been their and done that with low efficent speakers and high powered Tube or Solid State amps never again.

Maybe not dogmatic. But you are like a dog shaking a bone. You just don't want to let it go. And @charles1dad is probably the most cordial guy on this site. He makes disagreeing seem like something not so bad after all.

 

 

High Sensitivity Speakers without support sub or build in active woofers got low performance to produce low bass but some listeners dont care about low bass' They looking on techical characteritic and stupidly believed , what it say
