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.

Atmasphere - I read that speakers, before SS became popular, had much higher impedance (32 Ohm or even higher)?
Atmasphere - If you can remember 70's it means you weren't there. I remember The Beatles playing on 30W VOX amps and people tossing LUXMAN tube amps to get beautiful and modern transistor amps. These SS amps often had rated unmeasurable THD and IMD distortions and had a lot of power but sounded like crap because of deep negative feedback and tons of TIM distortions.
