impedance vs sensitivity


Hi folks, I wonder if it is possible that a speaker is highly sensitive (>92dB) while having a very difficult impedance behaviour (1-4 ohms)? Could you also give some explanation regardless whether this is possible or not? Thank you in advance.

Yes it is possible. Desirable maybe not at least at 1ohm but possible. Would you like me to build you a loudspeaker with such specs? I have a loudspeaker in my office 92.5db 1 watt 4ohms. Sure many others available near this spec.
No, Low power is not enough for low ohm loads they need more power. Tube amps do not do well with low ohm loads unless designed for it. Your bass will suffer if loudspeakers below 4ohms and run on a low to med power tube amp.
