I can contribute to this thread and my observations with the ML2 with stated speaker sensitivity.
The Living Voice Avatar OBX-R model (now since 'upgraded' to OBX-RW) had a stated sensitivity of 94db. The Wilson Audio Duette has a stated 89dB @ 1 watt (2.83V at 1 meter).
One thing I have discovered is *how* measurements are stated vs. real world impressions. In my system/room, the Duettes are just a touch louder (all things being perfectly equal) than the OBX-R speakers. Now this was only a subjective by simply switching speakers out.
MBL making a complete line of products, high power amplifiers being their forte, may suggest they would like lots of brute strength.
