In looking thru the Magnepan CURRENT lineup, they are ALL, at least from the 20.7 to the .7 rated the SAME sensitivity. So, why keep recommending more power as you go up the line? Let's say I were to want to swap my 1.6 for some 3.6? My listening habits / levels won't change. So why would I want to swap my PAIR of Parasound A23 for MORE power? This is not the same issue as power handling, which should go up as you go upline. Too much is never enough |

Could the need for more power be related to 'dynamic headroom'? http://www.axiomaudio.com/dynamicheadroom |

Isn't the sensitivity rating at a specific frequency and not the entire frequency range ? A speaker that goes lower will need more power. |
