high-efficiency loudspeakers

The best is a question only you can answer after hearing several different speakers.   I have owned a number of stand mount speakers that were fine, accurate , sounded just like the recording ....  but that's the problem... they sounded like a recording

And then I did something unconventional and out of character for me....   I bought a pair of Klipsch Heresy III

These speakers are awesome.... the scale and weight of live music is possible in my living room.... I have never had more fun listening to music than with these speakers.   I am driving them with a pair of 40 watt EL 34 mono amps and am blown away at how great they sound.

I am driving my Heresys with a pair of 40 watt mono amps and it is more than enough power to play louder that you could endure for any length of time.....  I don't really play it loud, but the dynamics and effortlessness to drive allow pretty much any amp .

The Klipsch are also full, dynamic, and fun to listen to.   

"Better" "Best" , all very subjective terms.    I can say that for me, the Heresys, checked all the boxes .  High sens. , dynamic,  sealed box,  compact, can be close to wall, low freq output does not over lap room mode.....  easy to integrate with sub.    All of the above factor into how great these really sound in my room... 

Most fun I've ever had with a new component...  rediscovering lots of cds and records
