Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?


Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker -- all other things being equal?

Unsound,
Atmasphere wrote about Power and voltage Paradigms.
Here is his article:

Power being the product of voltage and current, I must have one SLIGHT beef in terms.

Voltage Source....no problem (paradigm, if you insist)
Current Source....Instead of 'power'. (again, paradigm if you insist)

See the writings of Pass for further information...

Hi Magfan, I am no amp designer, I have built alot of speakers. Recently I built a nice MTM. I ended up with an 4 ohm bottom and an 8 ohm top..... In speakers anyway, where you deal with impedance dips and peaks of up to 30 ohm or more, it is not unusual for a speaker even in a network of speakers to get hotter than the others when an amplifier (in power paradigms ss peaks power to certain loads. That is one of the few reasons that impedance compensation is used and often resonance compensation. In this current MTM, I drop to 3.8 ohms in the bass through the midrange while the tweeter has a peak up around 12 or 14 ohms. I had to place the crossover so that the crossover point was low enough to stay away from where the power hump would be in the response & impedance curves, otherwise you would have clearly dealt with fatigue above the crossover point because of the power paradigm. I am not experienced enough in amp to design to properly discuss power or voltage paradigms in amps. I hope this is adequate explanation(90 % accurate for explanation)to make since of a power paradigm in speakers.
Magfan, I have one slight beef also. If one were to take away the bias, one could often reverse the positions, and perhaps to better effect.
