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?

No. Two watts output on 97dB speakers is very loud

With very sensitive speakers mounted in an efficient 'enclosure'.
Unfortunately, both those create more drawbacks than they eliminate.

Most of the music output has 0.01 to 0.1 watt power levels.

That's a very sweeping statement

That's why the first audiowatt is the most important.

Just as well as the second is likely to be poor.

Come over and have a listen.
I'll hook up the scope
