RE: Forget about the term efficiency

This is why I don't pay too close attention to watt ratings or sensitivity ratings. It doesn't really matter - what matters is speaker A connected to amp B and does the combination produce the levels and bass and grip required.

The AN J is 93db sensitivity - the amp is 4.2 watts undistorted in a 13 X 16ish room is deafeningly loud with sub 30hz bass - I also had the AN K in this room and it played louder than I would ever need.

The AN E/Spe HE at CES with the Jinro had some of the best bass at the highest levels of any room at the show easily and convincingly bettering rooms with 1000 watt amplifiers. I guess people play at extreme levels when the make their judgements on this - if so they'll be deaf very soon and so the point is moot.
