What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
@grannyring  I have not heard the Horning Aristotle speakers. I have heard their larger sibling the Eufrodites on 2 separate occasions. So I understand your enthusiasm.It doesn’t require much power to make them sing. More importance placed on the...

@auroravengeance I have read very good things about the made in Greece Lab 12 DAC Reference. Also similarly good comments about the Abbas (What’s best forum thread) DACs. Both of these being reasonably priced small European manufacturers. Charles

@mtrspt5  If you don’t mind sharing, what DAC and amplification are you using? Charles

@mtrspt5  Congratulations to you. So nice to know that your experience with the RS2T up to this point mimics mine.    Robert, I wish you a speedy and uneventful recovery. Also continued success and musical bliss with your RS2T: Charles   
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
@grannyring I also find higher efficiency speakers sound more real and lifelike, at least to my ears. Here is a link Pretty much the same conclusion I arrived at quite some time ago. Yet, I can respect /appreciate the different approach and opi...

@oddiofyl  I am gaining awareness about the Lab 12 DAC Reference  made in Greece. Seems to be very well received. How did you happen to come across it? Charles   
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
y’all understand distortion counts as output..in the overly simplistic efficiency measurement…. right ? Overly simplistic? Nah , I think people recognize that it is just providing a generalization of the lower power demands of higher sensitivit... 
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
 If you music is cruising along at four watts, the 94 db speaker will need 40 watts, and the 84 db speaker will need 40 watts  For many listeners typical/average listening volumes fall in the 70-80 db (C-weighted) range. A 104 db sensitivity sp...

Having said that, have you ever heard the Terminator and the Aquarius in person? Always the most pertinent question. Charles

@sbank  Duke is wise. Agreed, and humble. Charles
