200 watts is the Max wattage, efficiency is usually stated as Db/1w

With a smaller space (less than 3-400sf) or moderately powerful amps (above 75w ) efficiency isn’t that big a deal since the listening distance and dispersion is limited, but with larger spaces efficiency and amp power helps a lot especially since sound output is non-linear. In other words, for every 3db of output (which is generally agreed upon as the min change human hearing can detect) you hav to double power
