After all, this is not meant to be the engineering board just general, read that as simplified, consumer questions. As we all know, loudspeakers in general are horribly inefficient. They convert 1% or less input power into acoustic power, the rest 99% being converted into waste heat. It was not necessary to get into details of energy conversion efficiency.
Most here assumed what was being asked, in very general terms, was if one speaker had an advertised sensitivity rating of say 93dB would it therefore be more dynamic than a competing speaker that had an advertized sensitivity rating of say 81dB. Furthermore, the published sensitivity ratings of speakers are assumed to be the common usage of one watt (2.83 volts rms into 8 ohms) at 1,000 Hz at one meter unless otherwise specified such as for 4 ohm nominal speakers.
