Suggestions for high efficiency speakers?


I attended the Capital Audiofest and thought the Audio Note room had the best sound to my ears. Another attendee from Florida had a copy of "A Night in Tunisia" and it sounded like you were sitting in Art Blakey's chair with his drums right there in front of you. I want that palpability, that "you are there" sound I think low watt amps and high efficiency speakers deliver better than any other combination.

 

A couple years ago I heard the DeVore 96s at the same show and loved their sound, anyone know of other speakers that give the same sensations?

 

My system is a SOTA Sapphire w Sumiko MMT and Zu-modified Denon 103 into an Art Audio Vinyl One phono pre into a Lamm LL2 Deluxe pre into an Art Audio Jota SET power amp and into Joseph RM25 sigs.

This system philosophy and configuration - with tweaks and improvements along the way - has worked for me for 35 years. Context and ears matter. May it may not work for you.

Be well.

 

In my post that I know everyone read carefully (except myself) I meant to say I tried Heresy IVs and preferred the IIIs. The record is now corrected.

i am using creek5350 intergrated amp with paradigm studio 100v2 no tubes no problems, just the best 

these speakers are rated at 94spl,but do not like tubes...no bass... tubes are inefficiant to produceing bass.maybe if you use sub woffers.whitch i will not buy because the sound i get from this system  is anything but miraculoushave a good day     thanks don.
