[QUOTE="alphabet, post: 1130, member: 11"] With all the specifications been touted, it is difficult to decide on a speaker based on it power handling and sensitivity. Although I treate these claims very carefully, I still look at sensitivity and if it is below 90db the immediate involuntary reaction is that the speaker will need more power than normal to drive it. In reality however the additional power needed to drive a 87db speaker at the same volume as a 90db speaker is not that great. The question comes up many a time, can we really hear the difference between speakers with different sensitivity levels? There are many more factors to consider, but I agree with Martin about the lies that the marketing departments want us to believe! [/QUOTE]
