Lowest frequency response across the system’s components. Approximate — a component is excluded only when it declares an amplifier wattage without also declaring a sensitivity figure, so an amplifier that happens to report a sensitivity slips through and can pull the reading down.
Drive difficulty88.0 dB/W
99.0 dB/W85.0 dB/W
Speaker sensitivity normalised to 8 ohms. Approximate — we do not record whether a figure was quoted per watt or per 2.83 volts, so a non-8-ohm speaker can be out by up to 3 dB.
