| Efficient speakers v. less efficient speakers aball1,998 posts01-18-2006 2:24pmYes, a big difference. High efficiency means lots of detail and resolution. Just try hooking up a noisy amp to a 100dB sensitive speaker and see what I mean. Inefficient speakers lose lots of musical information ... | |
| Efficient speakers v. less efficient speakers audiokinesis2,577 posts01-19-2006 3:15pmI agree with the posts pointing out that a high efficiency system usually has better dynamic contrast than a low efficiency system.Let me try to explain why. It's a nasty little secret almost nobody talks ... | |
| Efficient speakers v. less efficient speakers gregm3,252 posts01-18-2006 10:47amThe most obvious differences are technical and practical -- not theoretical.In theory, all you need is twice the energy for every 3db difference. In practise however your 90db spl/1m/2,83V will need 1000W energy... | |
| Efficient speakers v. less efficient speakers Efficient speakers v. less efficient speakersIf driven with the appropriate amplifier(s), meaning a higher powered amplifier for a less efficient speaker and a lower powered amplifier for a more efficent speaker, are there any difference?rlew01-... | |

| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? That advice — get a more efficient speaker — makes sense to me, but before I just twist with every opinion I come across (I'm a newbie, so I'm pathetically suggestible), I'd like to hear the other side. Viz., ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Look the rea... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? QUESTION: What is the value in low sensitivity speakers? What do they do for your system or listening experience which make them worth the cost and effort to drive them? Has anyone run the gamut from high to low and wound up with low for a reaso... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? hilde45 OP2,229 posts02-13-2020 5:55pmI’ve not bought any power yet. Thanks for the replies. I understand the technical trade offs better, now. If one had the bass covered by a subwoofer, it seems there’s no positive, specifiable, aesthetic reason... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? mrdecibel2,476 posts02-13-2020 8:01pmEvery speaker, to some extent, makes some trade offs, and, at all price points, imo. The thing is, as a listener, we need to determine, what musical parameters of recorded music, are most desirable to each of... | |

| speaker distortion alexberger416 posts02-13-2020 4:12pmLow sensitivity is a trade-off small size and deep bass to bigger size and not as deep bass.Low sensitivity causes thermal compression that makes heavy, constrained, tiresome sound.High sensitivity speakers, i... |
