In need high-efficency speakers

eag618, if you buy the Tekton Perfect SET, please let us know what you think of them.  Martin

You can still buy Heresy IIIs (I was surprised when I received the "Capitol" edition from these guys...there's a more expensive list for these with different finishes than regular Heresy IIIs, otherwise technically identical) from the same Ebay seller where I bought my pair last December.  Still $1499 with free shipping, factory warranty, and a generous return policy. Look for "acousticsounddesign" in Gabbs Nevada. Mine arrived (I live near Boston) in 3 days from the order. 

You need to figure out what your priorities  are. With high efficiency  your giving up bass for same size speaker. Your amp should have plenty of oomph to drive many types of speakers as long as your not headbanging. Try to hear as much as you can. 

Hi , I have Zu Omen MkI, Klipsch Heresy II’s, Klipsch KG 1.5’s , And JBL 4312A’s. I use either a 12 Wpc Had Inspire , Dynakit MkIII’s ( 60 Wpc ), or a Vintage Marantz 2226 receiver . Without a doubt get the Omens ! I love mine . Sometimes Zu is short on used drivers and installs new ones on the Dirtys ( so I’ve heard ). I have heavy carpet and run the provided spikes . Even with 12 Wpc the Bass is good . I purchased some solid 3” thick Timbernation spiked bases and it sounded terrible . Went back to the spikes . Of the 4 pairs of speakers , I like the Heresys the least . If your interested , I’ll make you a deal . I read a review on the Zotl 40 Wpc and the reviewer loved it with his Tekton Double Impacts . But for $750 , I purchased a pair of pristine Zu Omens in walnut , and will never sell them . At that price you can get the MK II UPGRADE and buy some nice speaker cables , I run Anti-Cables level 3 and Morrow Level 5 Interconnects . My room is 15x20 with a 12’ ceiling . Hope this helps , Mike . 

13blm,
Yes I'm aware of the trade offs. I'm slow and sure before making purchases. When we're no longer able to be content with the lower volume for movies/tv I'll make the plunge. But the Klipsch and Zu are at the top of my short list.
