Default efficient speakers??

I'm looking for efficient speakers to be driven by my Cayin HA-1A amp

I would prefer to run in triode mode.

Google got me several pages of manufacturers.
It's going to take some digging if you want something that will play with much "authority" at that small a power level.
These get good reviews-
Avantgarde Acoustic Lautsprechersysteme GmbH

Another-
::: BEAUHORN ::: high end horn loudspeakers which really make recordings sound like live music

What about Klipsch? I'd think that something like the Heresy would do for that application pretty nicely.

The Heresy is pretty reasonable in terms of footprint. I think that it's technically called a bookshelf speaker, though you'd need some big-assed reinforced bookshelves for that. I don't have much room either, and I've nearly purchased them several times.

Heresy? Last pair I saw were at least 2' wide and 4' tall? Maybe I am mistaken?
