[QUOTE="Alrojoca, post: 7877709, member: 638714"] Like it was mentioned Sensitivity does not equal better sound quality, you will be surprised by many great sounding speakers are in the 86-88 db, and usually those are expensive and handle over 125 watts RMS each, there are some unusual cases like high end Hertz, and mid range Focals with high spl and great SQ, in the case of Focals they handle 80 watts each and the Hertz up to 150 watts each, although the specs on the Hertz seem impressive at 92-93 db spl, they need the power of over 125 watts to sound better. In any case to drive any high end speakers or in the $400 range and up I am sure most will agree that 100 clean RMS watts minimum will be needed to get the best sound from them. Good expensive speakers in most cases need powerful expensive amps. [/QUOTE]
