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.

Considering the strength of Shadorne's position and my strong preference for high-efficiency designs (as well as many others) I'd say this is no less divisive than any other of our tussels.

I've heard lots of folks say that high efficiency designs are better (they're the underdog, after all). This is the first time I've ever heard a blanket statement that low-efficiency is inherently superior.
