Lonemountain- why did you arbitrarily start at 102 db volume for the high efficiency speaker but 86 db for the lower one? The more efficient one can also of course play @ an 86 db level using a small fraction of a watt & thus probably w/ extremely little amp distortion. Both speakers can have the same dynamic range assuming a sufficiently powerful enough amp for the lower efficiency speaker. The high efficiency speaker can achieve it more easily, likely quicker too & w/ much less required power
