Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker -- all other things being equal?

If the sensitivity is above 91dB, things are pretty good. 95dB and above, they can be driven even more easily. However, I love the sound of Maggies, 86dB sensitive, and Legacy Whispers at about 95dB sensitive, and some horns at 100dB plus, and have heard many efficient things which made my ears bleed. Thus, the bottom line is how well matched your amp is to your speakers, regardless of sensitivity. Jallen
