90 db efficiency - I can vouch for that. I heard some at the local dealer recently and they were very UN Martin Logan in that they actually got loud. They were very good with blues and old-school rock. The size was nice, too - way smaller than a pair of MMGs and a subwoofer. They will go loud enough to hurt your ears, since the bass is a conventional driver, and it's really hard to destory the tweeter and midrange. Almost ribbon tweeter in that respect.(unlike an electrostatic, where you have to be a bit more sane)
But the real eye-opener was not how they did versus the other Martin Logans, but how they shredded every other tower speaker under $2000 in the store in the midrange. Tannoy's Saturns came very close to being as good, but it's honestly very hard to comete versus a planar midrange and tweeter.
