[QUOTE="d0dja, post: 94191, member: 2244"] >Yip, Martin is correct: +9dB is *nearly* double as loud, not 3 times as I had it. Sorry about that. I'm a bit confused here, I thought 3dB = doubling/halving? I've been reading quite a bit on power compression, and it would seem to me that an HE driver should ALWAYS sound better than a low efficiency one... but obviously this is not true as there are loads of non-HE designs. So what would the advantage be in low efficiency designs? Is it a bit like the diffs between a very inefficient but hugely beefy big block Chevy V8 and a very efficient small capacity turbo - same power at the wheels but different way to get to it, making it a matter of taste?
