You'd want it to be as high efficiency as possible, but if you like the sound of the low efficiency speaker the best, then you get the gear to drive it.
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
Consider both designs are done right and your other equipment is well matched with the speakers. Do you have any preference when it comes to sound quality? Is it matter of economic decision when it comes to price? - power amps can become very expensive when power goes up, on the other hand large, efficient speakers are expensive as well. Is your decision based on room size? I'd love to hear from you on the subject.

Overly simplistic? Nah , I think people recognize that it is just providing a generalization of the lower power demands of higher sensitivity speakers. People get that. Very little distortion concerns if a 5 watt amp is only providing fractions of 1watt of power at desired SPLs. Well within the low watt amplifier’s sweet spot. Charles |
@czarivey Sure, more music more noise. More filtering less noise and less music. You have to decide what bothers you more - the noise or the music? |
@boomerbillone i think of efficiency in a different way. Less efficient speakers - more filtering in the design and less music. In addition, the high power amp is another problem - more filtering, more distortion and less music as well. I'm sure your speakers sound great, but they are different. |
