High efficiency usually means horn loading - and horns tend to have a

Fostex is my speaker of choice because I need their efficiency for my
home made 2 watt power amps. Fostex publishes plans for recommended
enclosures, indeed rather large back loaded horns. These make big fun
but building might be a pain. Sound quality is neither poor nor
excellent. It's my personal believe there is no such thing as 'perfect
reproduction' as all enclosures, filters and drivers have inherent
faults, one more obvious than others. Find your compromise and live with
it.


I take it you're running off batteries etc if you are restricted to a 2
watt amp?
