Driver efficiency vs. overall speaker efficiency


If a speaker uses a driver that has an efficiency of, let's say 87.5db/2.83V/m, then theoretically the speaker can never have an efficiency of greater than 97.5db?

Pragmatist, if more current is drawn to achieve a higher sound level, the efficiency hasn't increased. Or am I making a mistake here? A higher efficiency means more output with teh same cuurent.
