I must disagree with Mr Salk. I suppose we need to define “high efficiency”. At least 95db or perhaps 98db? I have heard some wonderfully rich, full bodied and naturally toned high efficiency speakers that are not even close to being bright or fatiguing. Here are just a few....
-Coincident speakers
- Audio Note speakers
- Classic Audio
- Living Voice
- Tonian
- Devore
- Silverline
I would even throw in several Tekton models.
Yes, I have wanted and asked churches and other live music events to turn it down! Live music is sometimes so loud that is causes permanent hearing damage. Permanent! 100 dB and over is just too loud for 90-120 minutes of music wether live or at home. This is factual, not an opinion.
