In Reply to: A fine point, but wiring drivers in parallel does not increase the system's efficiency... posted by jeffreybehr on March 20, 2007 at 00:39:43:
Actually, it does. Efficiency is doubled, which results in a 3dB increase in sensitivity. The other 3dB comes from the halved impedance.

- Didn't read my note, huh? :-) It changes SENSITIVITY, not EFFICIENCY. The former is measured with 2.83VAC... - jeffreybehr 11:28:54 03/20/07 (2)

- Yes and no. EFFICIENCY is increased 3dB and SENSITIVITY is increased a further 3dB. - jeffreybehr 18:51:27 03/20/07 (0)
