HI Everyone, I was just wondering if more sensitive drivers offer less distortion at levels around 90-95 DB.
For example, would a lowther, fostex type cone driver (rated at say 100 db for the sake of example) offer less distortion, since it is being fed less than a watt?
ANother example, would a horn-based compression driver rated at 95 db, without the horn, offer less distortion?

thanx
