Which is more efficient and requires less power?

Duke's qualifier is interesting:

Note that a few amplifiers might still be happier
with the lower efficiency 6 ohm speake.

This is telling, and why I posted the question. The 94db speaker is the
obvious choice, but the more difficult load of the 94db speakers kaes
the answer not so cut and dried, IMO.

The 94 db/w speaker is obviously more efficient, even when both are converted to a common basis for comparison (2.83 volt sensitivity measurement). For most solid state amps, it would be much easier to drive to high volume; the 4 ohm nominal impedance would not be a problem. But, with a tube amp, it is harder to say which would work better. Single ended triodes, in particular, tend to have higher output impedances which translates to less ability control the movement of the cone.

As a pure guess, provided that the 94 db speaker does not have a severe drop below 4 ohms, particularly at very energetic bass frequencies, and if the phase angle is not severe at a frequency where the impedance dips, the 94 db speaker would be easier to drive for most tube amps.

The question of imedance drop is important. The 6 ohm speaker dips to 3 ohms. I don't know about the 4 ohm nominal speaker, which conceivably could dip lower than 3 ohms.

The idea is to use a PP triode tube amp with a power output of 50wpc or less.

If one were to have a tube amp with say an output impedence peak of 3.5 ohms at 200 hz and speakers which have an impedence droop to 3.5 ohms at 200 hz would the two cancel the potential negative effect of either, everything else being equal?

Looking at this from the other end, how loudly do you like to listen to music? How large is your room? These answers may have more impact than going strictly by speaker specs.

I auditioned a pair of huge JM Lab Electra 946 with a 3.5W ASL 2A3 amp. It worked great as long as you didn't turn the volume up too much. As an owner of a McIntosh amp with power meters, I can tell you that most of the time, I use less than 5W of power. Maybe you are the same way?
