You need to be horny for horn speakers that are over 100dB efficient. You need to let people know what price range you are shopping in so they can make sensible recommendations.

I am no expert and 3 watt amps is lower than I have ever owned but I have a pair of Loth X speakers with a K&R 18 watt I like these speakers a lot . A 3 watt should have no problem as long as the volume is not pushed to high in a normal to smaller room. I am not sure these speakers are still in production but they are gems. again IMO

You need horns >104db probably. Klipsch, avantgarde, etc.

Devore's Orangatan O/96 speakers are 96 dB efficient.

Check JA's Stereophile measurements. 91db.

OK, John D. claims 96 dB on his website. John shows the speakers with some low but not 3 watt amplifiers. 'Course the size of the room will play a big role in which amp works too.

thanks a lot for your advices. I will look at all those suggestions. The price is not really a problem (but no more than $10.000

I powered one time with 6 watts on my O/96 with great result

Tekton, Avant Guarde, Horns.pl, JoSound, Heil Kithara (94db)…I wish I could recommend the SoundKaos wave 40, but its 93db only.
Your best bet is horn speakers, likely single driver…maybe the Voxativ Pi?

Classic Audio Loudspeakers

There are many models...the flagship was well reviewed by AVShowrooms...about 104db efficiency on some of their models...strongly recommended by Atmasphere who makes world-class tubed amps.

Good thing you told us. I was just going to recommend the Magico Ultimate speakers.

He said no more than $10k.

But he doesn't have 6 watts, he has 3 watts.

But he doesn't have 6 watts, he has 3 watts.

My post was regards to Myles's low watts comments.

 

[bmichels]

I am considering those: the teresonic integrum (sensivity 101.5dB, List $ 12.000/pair).



Any comments on them ?

Some great reviews at Dagogo, but I have not heard them. They make some pretty speakers.
