But you're mistaking bandwidth as a key driver of amplifier power. The speaker that hits 80Hz only doesn't consume any less power at 20Hz than the one that hits 40Hz (assuming equal sensitivity). It just wastes more power heating the voicecoil and moving the cone for no meaningful output.

You need to pull "bandwidth" out of the equation. Hoffman's iron law, as djk says, efficiency, size, bass, must be balanced, but the speaker with less bass doens't demand less from the amp unless it's highpassed, which is exceedingly rare.

Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.
