Damping Factor vs speaker sensitivity


Would the high Damping Factor of an integrated amplifier, combined with speakers with 94 dB of sensitivity, cause less good extension of the high frequencies?  For example a Hegel H190 with Damping Factor more than 4000 main power output stage.

There is inductor resistance, voice coil resistance, resistors, capacitor impedance, inductor impedance. Your real damping factor is never anywhere near 4000.

Yes technically an amp can have a damping factor that is very high as it is measured at the amp terminals.  I was listing all the parasitic values in a system between the amp and speaker driver that makes this value meaningless.
