Let me restate my question for further focus

I was not clear enough in my question and understand where your day to day mind is when the word efficiency comes up.

This is not about large power resiliant PA systems, but about learning what in a xover effects the phase angle swings, impedance dips and such.

Lets say that I want to focus on making a speaker be efficient for very low wattage tube amplification, and that tube amplification likes very high flat impedance and phase swings (flat/high).

What parameters within a driver are needed to be understood during the selection process to maintain that "flat/high" goal?

What xover topologies (order, formulation) and what supporting circuits (impedance comp, notch filters, Risch filters) are to be used/avoided?

How does one go about approaching a project where "flat/high" is the goal?


Secondary, what high efficiency Pro drivers do you find suitable for the home hi-end audio application where kilowatt power consuption is not a issue?

Side note, you answered a question, somewhere on the web, about Klipshorn xover components and the individual was wondering if 100 v cap was not enough, and all I could think about was the jet engine spl one would have with a K horn with anything approaching the 100v level let alone greater than that. EEEEYOOOWWW!
