Yes, they are certainly incorrect. I wonder if they meant to write "102db MAX SPL at rated input". You certainly would not want to torture most 20 watt tube amps trying to drive the Kappa 9's at moderate listening levels, not to mention what the distortion would do to those ribbon tweeters when the amp starts clipping!
How to read speaker sensitivity rating?
.
When reading the sensitivity rating on speaker specs, does a lower number mean the speaker is easier to drive than a speaker with a higher number? Such as a speaker rated 78 db would be easier to drive than a speaker rated 102 db?
