[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 586160, member: 555320"] In theory, that sounds all nice and well, but it hardly ever works out that way. As Jmac mentioned, there are other things to worry about such as power compression, "fudged" numbers, maximum displacement, and a ton of other variables. Sensitivity only measures the output at 1w (or 2.83V, which on a 4ohm speaker works out to be about 2w), many things change once power is increased past that amount. Take the Resonant Engineering XXX for example. They are horribly inefficient, yet they get insanely loud. It just takes more power to get them to that level. [/QUOTE]
