Actually its the opposite, just means the speaker is more efficient, i.e. less energy lost to heat etc. So in theory for a certain SPL a speaker thats more efficient will require less watts for that SPL compared to another speaker thats less efficient.

You can work out estimates of what you'd need to match your amped fronts. I'd say a highly efficient 2ohm coaxial. 2 ohm as i think the ms-8 has a higher power rating for 2 ohms.

Or if you decide to get a 6 channel amp that would work too.
