Someone recently told me that in their experience, in general, that the higher the db sensitivity of a given speaker, the more you sacrifice in terms of sound. In other words, lower db rated speakers [ 86-88 ] typically sound better. Any thoughts on this?
The only thing that can be generalized is that a high sensitivity speaker, all else being equal (never is), will have a more limited low frequency response than a lower dB speaker of the same size. This means nothing with respect to sound quality, unless that "someone" uses low frequency extension as the only yardstick.
