less efficient speakers = better sound?

someone told me today less efficient speakers sound better.

i don't believe him at all.

has anyone ever heard/read anything about this?

I wouldn't think that efficiency and quality of sound have anything to do with one another.

yeah thats one of the stupidest things ive ever heard of.

He probbly came up with that idea by saying that Vega's are high eff and maggies arent. well, i think we all know which one probbly sounds better

HEY dammit!!!

quit talking bad about my VEGA LW-12.. its all i could afford at the time..

its REAL easy to get 'upgradeitis' around here when you keep hearing how crappy your equipment is!!

live and learn i guess. chalk it up as an enlightenment.. HSU or SVS, lesson learned..

On the plus side - Vega's are almost bulletproof, no matter how much you'd like to er, accidentally, blow one - you can't.

thanks bren, a few kind words,,

to be honest, i have never really tested in a full HT situation, so i dont even really know what it can do. when i bought it, i was still 'building' my HT, and i knew VEGA was the king of bass, so i figured i couldnt go wrong.. if i knew than what i know now..

the whole up side to this whole deal is that i have never heard the SVS or the HSU, so i dont know what i am missing.

*note to self*- before i visit anyone, remind them to turn their sub OFF!!
