The
number of (triode) valve amplifier producers
today compared to two decades ago is phenomenal and
there's a steadily increasing interest in high-efficiency
speakers, thus this page on my experiences of
high-efficiency speakers and some comments to what I've
picked up from the web.
Why bother about 95-100 dB/1 watt
speakers when we have almost unlimited power
available from solid state or digital amps? Why do people
build two watt single ended triode valve amps with
subsequent need for extremely efficient speakers? Is it
pure nostalgia or do these systems have something to
offer conventional hifi does not?
