Every speaker has what I call a "break" point. This is a volume where the current is sufficiently large enough to control the woofer driver. The actual point will vary with driver size and of course the effciency of the speaker system.
A 15 inch driver, say as in an Altec, have have a 100 dB sensitivity . IMHE, I still need a least a300B amp although nuerically a 2A3 amp should ave sufficient power. The aditional power simply gives better control.
One speaker where this is especially noticeable (at least for myself) is Magnepans. They need a certain amount of power applied to raelly open up and it is quite distinct. If yu move your volume pot slowly up it is easy to hear the point where the things simply snap in.
I would also point out that loudness curves were developed simply because ear sensitivity changes at lower volumes.
Of course YMMV and FWIW
