What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000?

the Omega XR3S are far better then the Klipsch
I owned the heresy which is a decent speaker the Hemp
driver is just so much more natural and for under $1200
it is a steal just check out their finishes alone, they make a Hemp powered sub for under a $1000 that you can get at a later date in a beautifull
hand veneered cabinet ,this way the wife has no complaints
and the Bass is Articulate with a capital A. Once you hear em there is a excellent chance you would buy them ,and a 10 yr warranty -made in the U.S.A is a big bonus.

Id also reccomend the omega's. I have not heard the klipsch's but i did have a pair of coincident partial 2s here. I sold those and kept the omegas. but i do use a small tbi sub.

I have a pair of fostex 4 inch full range drivers but need a nd bought a sub.After I got all set up I learned about the hemp speakers and plan to buy a pair of there 4 or 6 inch drivers they go for about $120 for a pair of 4 inch and I think $180 for the 6 inch. I drive my fostex with a single ended pentode amp (5 watts) and they go plenty loud they are rated at 95db. I feel that they my fostex sounds so good that I will be very pleased with a pair of hemps.If not I can either use them as outside speakers or basement speakers or sell them easily for $100 dallors more than what went into them.You don't have to worry about the enclosures,just make a small airtight box,put in some filling,speakers posts,cut out one hole screw in the speaker paint the box black and your set!! I bought a used sub on the gon for $125 so total is under $400,a pair of omega's will put you back about 7-8 hundred so diy and be happy and proud! Good luck! Nick

I love your enthusiasm Happynick. Sounds cool. You could just build nicer looking boxes for the Bozaks too! Ha!

I had the Heresys back in the 80s. They are ok, but when I got the Kef 103.3s, the Heresys whimpered out of the room. The Heresy sound stage, transient response and high end can all be improved upon.

That was many years ago. Now I am trying out a set of Energy RC speakers. They are not as efficient as the KLF-20s suggested, but aren't too shabby at 94 db. So far they are sounding pretty good. You might want to look into a pair of RC50's or RC-30s with a sub.
