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?

To get more efficiency than that, you would need to go to a horn loading system which can increase the efficiency of the system.
