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.

Damping factor is pretty much meaningless unless one is talking about a tube amp with extremely low damping factor, like around 4 or less.  Beyond 8, the numbers don’t really matter that much unless the speakers have a really low impedance.
