The beginning of the New Year often causes one to be reflective. Over the past year, we (my son's & I) have built a Bottlehead Foreplay, Grounded Grid Preamp, moded ASL Wave 8's, did the Swenson/Vinnie mods to a Toshiba 3950 (twice, another story), built 2 Pi Towers, purchased John LaPaires beautiful 4 Pi Tower's & 2 Pi's - installed drivers, and built a cross-over.

For the New Year - I will be refitting my 4 Pi Towers with Delta Pros, and hopefully building a Transcendent OTL amplifier.

Time to pause, and ask a question. What are the benefits of high efficiency speakers over low efficiency. Why isn't the mass consumer space using high-efficiency drivers.

Also interested in what some of you did during 2004, and your plans for 2005?

Thanks
Hakn
