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.

Every speaker I have heard with kevlar drivers has sounded too forward and unnatural to me. Some carbon fiber drivers can sound this way to me also.
@Schubert, I don't know what to say? They just don't sound right to me. I grew up listening to my dad's tube pilot gear with large warfdale speakers and like the warm sound with punchy but not forward midrange.
