[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8659093, member: 614752"] Sort of, keep in mind that "sensitivity" is calculated and not measured though and this may or may not be honest. The other side of that coin from a design standpoint is the very efficient speakers are always limited in power handling. Everything we do to make them handle more power robs efficiency. It's always a compromise. For what it's worth I have always liked the JBL/Infininty product line on lower power. JBL has some beefier options for higher power, not so sure about Infinity. Polk sold out manufacturing very early 90s and I haven't liked them much since. They may be decent but it's one of those where they just became a shadow of their former greatness in my mind. Really if you stay out of the gutter brands you should be OK but component/coaxial speaker sound is very subjective. You'd do best to try to go to some brick and mortar stores to audition them in person. [/QUOTE]
