The benefit to higher efficiency speakers is that less amplifier power is needed to achieve a given loudness. The benefit of a low efficiency speaker is that you may be able to operate the volume control higher in its range where it has less effect on the sound quality.
High vs. Low Efficiency Speakers
Are there benefits / disadvantages to either?
I listen primarily to classical and prefer tube amps, does this lead me toward one speaker over another?
Lastly, I try to keep the music at a fairly low volume -- need to protect the hearing!
Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.
