Best Cheap, Small, High Sensitivity Speakers


Looking to start a second system centered around low powered Antique Sound amp. Need a suggestion for a speaker that's small, inexpensive (under 1000 a pair), with a db rating in the 92-97 range. Does this exist or am I barking up a nonexsistent tree? As always I thank you all in advance. Your advice in the past has been invaluable.

"Does this exist or am I barking up a non existent tree?"
There is trade off in speaker performance. You must sacrifice 1)effeciency, 2)frequency response or 3)cabinet size. The laws of physics demand that you cannot have all three. This is a well settled fact. One fairly clear article on this subject is at trueaudio.com (truaudio.com/1st_trade.htm) I believe that is the correct site (in parens) according to my notes. If not, go to the trueaudio.com site and search the site for an article by John L. Murphy called "Loudspeaker Design Tradeoffs." If you want small, sensitive speaker, you cannot get a low frequency (Big bass) too. I do not care what anybody says and neither should you.
good luck

follow up to my post. at true audio hit "tech topics" and the article will be listed. The article is not at the exact location I listed. In any event, you will not get everything in a small package.
