It's a good question ... Only it mostly depends on ... pregnant!
Weird isn't it? When we don't know ...
All very high-end speakers often have a staggering output. They will fill your ears with a little watt ... for around 95 db at 1m !!! (Of course you need the amps and the gear that follows behind, and there may be relevant choices with lower yields ...).
So you have to put it in perspective, it's a question of performance. And a lambda chain with bad speakers will consume a lot more current ... So heat dissipation ... Everything is relative. We can consume a lot and have less heat dissipation ...
Well, well ... I start with my
"Oldies but goodies" Infinity Kappa 9:
The history of the Kappa 9 goes back to the origins of Infinity and the genius of Arnie Nudell, who innovated a lot (especially with new materials for the time, and his choices continue today).

It is the logical variation of these legendary models. I took them back then, because they cost 50 times less than the Genesis :-) and sounded pretty much the same on blind listening, a little better in the bass, however, considering the new four woofers. generously sized generation of 12 inches (instead of the previous 8,6 inches) => since they were their "

It was the last affordable audiophile version of very high level in the all high-end (in the direct line of Standard RS-Reference) and in series production, until the acquisition of the firm by Harman Kardon, who never chained on other models of very high level (other times other customs, all the others were very "
