[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 6647794, member: 562649"] That's just silly. There are numerous things wrong with all of the assumptions you just made. Are all sensitivity measurments = across manufacturers? No. What about baffle diffraction? Off axis listening effects? Amp efficiency? Also, why can't one effectively level match where it counts?
