The audio community seems to be fairly diverse, and I don't understand why anyone would feel "tricked" by those unwilling to strive for "macro parameters," which, by the way, would be a great name for a band. Lower powered tube amps into efficient speakers, class D or mighty A/B power into anything from di-pole/bi-pole stuff to maxi metal boxed 400 lb monsters or mini monitors with swarms of subs...room treatments, drug to brain treatments, $11,000 phono cartridge treatments (to yourself...after all, you deserve it), faithful followers of "magic" tweaks, how much "macro" does one need?
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!
