What creates the effortlessness in sound reproduction?


Hello, 
I have a chance to listen some speakers in the last 10 years. I notice that there are 2 speakers which produced sound 'effortlessly', even at low or high volume levels (I never tried max levels on them since they are not mine). With this effortlessness, listening to music is very relaxing. 

I wonder what makes the effortlessness in these speakers? 

Please shed some light on this. 

Thank you.

I think a system's perceived effortlessness can be achieved by a judicious application of effort.
I think it could be efficiency, at least in the case of a pair of 99db efficient speakers I use (Klipsch Heresy IIIs). The sound gets thrown out from the speaker post haste. 
Class A amps are certainly "snappy." Mine (Dennis Had Inspire Firebottle HO SEP) is anyway...a short path to the mojo transferring a clear upstream signal to earball pleasing immediacy.
