I did some research on the speaker brands that you suggested to me. Based on what I read about these speaker brands, the sensitivity rating for these other brands did not reach the numbers quoted by KLipsch. The Klipsch models that I mentioned well exceeded 90db for their sensitivity rating. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a relationship between the sensitivity rating and the clearity and quality of the sound produced by the speaker? I was under the impression that the higher the sensitivity number the more clear the sound and the more of the ablilty to distinguish the variety of different sounds. I would like someones opinion on this idea.
