High efficient speakers



I have a 8 Watt 300B amp and need a high efficient 90+ DB speaker. The depth of the speaker can go to 14"/16". Budget 4/5k used

My speakers I have now are the Audio Note J/SPe speakers. I want a fuller sound from top to botton. Speakers that must be biwired are out.

Room size 13' x 30'(opens into the kitchen) Ceiling starts from the back wall at 10' and climbs to 22'. The J's do sound very good in this space but I think I can do better.

I am looking at the DeVore 9 and S8 speakers. Any feedback on these models?

I do not like to fall asleep when I listen to music so a dynamic sounding speaker would be prefered over a lifeless one.

What speakers would you recommend?

Also, just search "High efficiency" on the A'gon site (discussion section) to locate several useful threads with plenty of suggestions and recommendations.

Zu comes to mind.
Or .....you can wait for my SD monsters which will be offered to local audiophiles only and SD fanatics at great savings.
Based on Sachiko design, modified drivers, LAT wiring and multi-layer Birch Ply constraction.
Of course it is only my personal opinion but these are the best SD I've heard.......for the price that is. They replaced my old Vanderstreen Quatro......
I am driving them with 8wpc Melody M300b monos.

Happy Holidays to All

Nothing is higher efficiency then Klipsch Klipschorn or Belles. Couple those with new ALK Engineering cross-overs and tube electronics and you are on your way to audio heaven. You are fortunate to have a room that can do them justice. The K's will create a clean volume of sound that once heard, will stop you from ever looking at anything else. Yes, I've had the K's, but not the ALK cross. When I down sized the K's had to go. Klipsch has a user's site and you may be able to connect with someone local who can give you a demo. You will be amazed!
