Inexpensive high efficiency bookshelf speakers

Air Tight Bonsai's I sold a pair of $5000.00 Reference 3A Royal Masters to someone that has them and resold the 3A and kept the Bonsai's they must be amazing!

Simon - check out Omega Loudspeakers. They fit all your desires.

I have heard a pair of Focal 706v at a friends home and frankly, I was stunned at what I was hearing. They were powered by a Cambridge Audio integrated and an Oppo player. Nothing fancy. The first word that comes to mind is dynamic, the kind of authority that normally comes with a much higher price tag. They are only about $600- new, and are very efficient, although I don't know the exact sensitivity. The presentation is a bit forward so if you are looking for something a bit laid back these probably aren't going to be for you. At any rate this is a pair of speakers that, in my opinion, plays in a neighborhood of much more expensive bookshelves. Good luck in your quest and let us know what you finally decide on.

Mirage OS3-FS. They have a tiny footprint, have the speed and transparency of a good mini-monitor, are rated at 93dB sensitivity, and being omnidirectional, energize the entire room and turn it into a listening area. The enclosure is an aluminum extrusion and is very inert--no boxy sound.

I have their OMD-15 floorstanders, and the 91-93 dB sensitivity is very noticeable. I get clip-free room-filling volume in a cathedral-ceiling open architecture living space from an 85 wpc integrated amp.

Thank you. Omega look interesting (93 dB) and I am looking toward Decware as well.

Focal 706v ? What web site or manufacturer name?
Thanks again
