In Reply to: Does lower sensitivy mean lower resolution? posted by deadlyvj on July 20, 2012 at 09:09:19:
I wouldn't say that a lower sensitivity speaker tends to be lower resolution, but there does seem to be a pretty high correlation between sensitivity and dynamics. High efficiency speakers, especially with horn loading, tend to have more sudden dynamic changes. I am not just talking about 1812 Overture dynamics. All types of music benefit from wider dynamics and you can hear this even at lower volume levels. I think that realistic dynamics may be the single biggest factor in making a hifi sound closer to real music.
Unfortunately, many high efficiency speakers suffer from other problems like horn colorations and irregular frequency response. So the trick is finding a high efficiency speaker that doesn't compromise in areas of frequency balance, coloration, coherency and resolution.
Once you hear the dynamics from a high-efficiency speaker in your own home, it is hard to go back to less dynamic speakers. At least that's been my experience.
