I'm with Jaybo and Duke....speakers. If you go pro speakers they won't sound so dull or lifeless at higher volumes. (thermal compression and as the cones exceed Xmax)

(BTW: Due to the prevalence of compression in speakers you don't neccesarily need higher efficiency to get much louder sound....efficency does NOT equate to absolute loudness it just means less power is needed at lower volumes.)
