Check out Cube audio speakers range. High sensitivity, Single drivers without a crossover. The tech has been refined so minimal sacrifice on bass department (which is a single driver typical design limitation). These speakers are pure magic! Maybe one of the smaller ones will be within budget.
Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers
Interested in trying lower watt tube SET or class A amps. After hearing about the 'magic' for years I feel it's about time I give it a listen. But, don't think my current speakers are efficient enough (please correct me if I'm wrong about this). I have Snell Type D at around 87 dB and Gallo 3.1 at around 88. Not exactly inefficient but could be better. I have used my Jolida 502 brc (60 watt) with the Snells and it sounds great. About to try the Jolida with the newer Gallos. I have read that they work well with tubes, eager to find out.
Looking for suggestions for efficient speakers under $2k. I know most horns qualify but, unfortunately, I have never been a big fan of the Klipsch sound. Of course there are other brands to check out.
I am in the process of researching amps right now. Seems like there are a few nice options in my lower price range. If you want to throw a few amp suggestions out there too that's great.
Thanks!

I too have a Cary Audio SLI-80 SIgnature amp with some cap upgrades (bought the amp on this site - not dissapointed with my decision). Look up - some good deals between $2,500-$3,000. I am also using simple REL sub woofer paired with Fritz Carbon 7 MK II speakers. Although only 87dB, they have been shown playing at shows with Audio Note One amps (Ota SE 1- watt amp) - see link from past Audigon site:
