Hello great information and thanks for the input - just to clarify - the information I posted at the top is NOT my conclusion. This is however what *I* was told by someone who claims to know this stuff. As I pondered the statement, I grew unsatisfied with the logic and chose to post for discussion.
To clear some things up for some of you:
The mention of 90db is in regard to the speaker efficiency. I believe this number was selected since it was the rating of my speakers.
Another couple questions to further enhance this discussion:
1) Given the rated efficiency of a speaker - how does the Ohms rating effect power requirements? For example, a 90db speaker at 6Ohms.
2) Depending on which speaker, isn't it true that different frequency requirements may have more or less efficiency at varying ohms? What does this do to the overall power requirements?
And to top it off, what about impedance?
