I am interested in building a pair of speakers that would be highly efficient. Something like the klipsch reference line. Thier floor standing loudspeakers have efficiency ratings of 98 dB/1 watt or greater. But they also have a fairly wide response range and are shielded for home theater use.
I don't seem to be able to find any drivers that would give me this capability. Tweeters are no problem, but the only way I can think of to get this kind of efficiency would be to wire together two sets of in series wired drivers and then connect the two pairs in parrales. This shoudl theoretically get me the impedance of 8 ohms and an efficiency of about 98 dB/ 1 watt.
This approuch seems liek overkill though, klipsch does it with two drivers and a horn tweeter. Could someone shed some light on this problem.
Thanks
Mark
