looking for a more efficient speaker.....

some thing with a higher then my current rated 86 alon IV.  something more easier to drive.  i love the way the sound but i have to drive them at 1-2 oclock to get the best sound and then you start to hear the strain.   let me know, i dont have big pockets so keep that in mind, plus i like floor standing types.

@kennesawjet The speaker I was talking about is the Alon Lotus SE MkII if you click the link in my post you'll see a review and photos. However you're using a 500 watt SS amp I'm pretty sure speaker efficiency isn't your issue.

Generally, 500wpc should be plenty to power for a 86 dB sensitivity speaker.  Are you listening at loud levels and/or your room is relatively large and/or compensating for hearing loss?

kennyc   hell yeah, small to avg size room in the basement, hearing loss what did you say

oddiofyl   you would think.  have talked with steve mc, jeff at cj and other chief designer/owners i could about this.  i know when you start turning it up you lose a certain amount of clarity.  but i like to hear everything.
