"On the flip side, you can have a 12 or 16 ohm nominal impedance speaker that doesn't generate a lot of sound for a 2.83 V input. But the high impedance alone doesn't make it less efficient and thus it could still possess excellent dynamic qualities."
Perhaps I am misreading or misunderstanding but doesn't the "high impedence" make a speaker MORE efficient? For example, I would think a "nominal" 8 ohm speaker that does not go below say 7 ohms is more efficient than a nominal 4 ohm speaker that goes to 3 ohms or so since the latter "consumes" or requires more watts than its higher impedence counterpart for a given level of sound("What is key are the number of watts consumed to produce a given decibel output - and that is how acoustic efficiency is defined")?
