Difference in B&W sound


Greetings, I have a set of 804n & 803 Matrix2. I'm running a Pioneer Elite 74 Txvi with a parasound 2003 MOD & a Parasound 5250v2. the 804 have a sensitivity of 90db. & the 803s have 89db. The Matrix sound so much better, so why would this be for an older model? Could the 1db. be that much of a difference? I'm confused.

If you can find any measurements say on a Steroephile review to compare, teh impedance and frequency response curves would probably tell one the most about how the two sound different.

What sounds "Better" to an individual is purely subjective. No specs alone will tell you that.

1db difference in sensitivity spec only means that one will be slightly louder louder than teh other all else being equal so not much to bank on alone there.
