Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker?


Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker -- all other things being equal?

Acurus - Don't criticize what you can't understand.
It would appear that spelling is not your greatest weakness.

Just stop and think about why it bothers you that other people are discussing a subject among themselves. Try with all your might to figure out what gnarly synapse in your cranial enterprise is offended. Then, if you master that challenge, try to determine why it bothers you so much that you choose to lash out at us for chatting about our respective beliefs.

It's not like we're standing in your front yard or anything.
Anybody know what the typical efficiency rating of a Victrola is?

It uses no electricity yet can fill a quite large room with quite lovely sound. Gotta be extremely efficient! This may be the ticket!

Not much bass or high end though in those old 78's!
Depends on the year, Mapman. Some of the later models were sold with electronics inside. I'm hauling one back from the mid-West in a few weeks. No electronics, just a moderately sized horn in the cabinet.

I think hi-eff drivers can give the best of both worlds. If I want "audiophile sound" I just stick my fingers in my ears.
Atmasphere, it was the last three paragraphs of the post addressed to Mapman on 6/29/11, that I was asking you to prove.
Thanks folks. I guess I am not really the one getting all upset based on some responses. I posted my comment as the initial post was a troll and if anyone has done any research or has had personal experience on the efficiencies of speakers and the combinations of amplifiers it would be clear that there are many inefficient speakers that some would argue are "the best" and vice versa. Having spent a lot of time with both efficient and inefficient, as well as designing my own Efficient speakers, I am not sure I would be lobbing bombs about my experience, Macrojack.

Sorry to get everyone all excited. Let's carry on and forget about my comments.
