Damping Factor vs speaker sensitivity

Would the high Damping Factor of an integrated amplifier, combined with speakers with 94 dB of sensitivity, cause less good extension of the high frequencies?  For example a Hegel H190 with Damping Factor more than 4000 main power output stage.

I agree with George L. Augspurger, in my opinion a damping factor (DF) of 4000 is pure marketing baloney! My Crown Studio Reference One Amp has a damping factor (DF) of 20,000 more marketing baloney. 😎
