Question concerning db sensitivity


Someone recently told me that in their experience, in general, that the higher the db sensitivity of a given speaker, the more you sacrifice in terms of sound. In other words, lower db rated speakers [ 86-88 ] typically sound better. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

I went from Thiel 1.5s to Coincident Conquests. Why? Sensitivity! My tube amps didn't like the Thiels too much. I honestly feel that both speakers are very similar in quality but going from 88db to 94 db allowed me to use any tube amp I wanted.
