Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
I concur with johnk. My speakers have an efficiency of 2.7% and a low frequency response of -3 db @ 24 Hz. To get that high efficiency and low bass response and low distortion without a subwoofer requires large main speakers. No way around it. BTW... 
Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”
I concur with johnk.

Nothing is sturdier than a ring radiator
@mozartfan,ATM's, That's where you get your cash. AMT's, That's where you get your sound. lol A ring radiator, like a JBL 2404H compression tweeter, will have better dispersion and dynamics then an AMT tweeter. That said, the AMT tweeter will have...
