SET amps and speaker sensitivity.

Hi there. Just for the aspect of learning and future knowledge, can a host of folks explain how to match SET amps like for example, the Lamm ML2.1's to speaker sensitivity.

We can even get away from the Lamms, really any SET amp. How do you match those to speaker sensitivity and what is the relationship between the two? What dB level is considered "sensitive."

Just curious and always wanting to learn!

Cheers,
Peter

In my experience there's a huge range of preferred loudness levels among different listeners.

Whether you listen at 70 dB average SPL or 90 dB average SPL will make a hundredfold difference in your amplifier power requirements.

So in my opinion, "this first - know thyself".
