Your comment:
"IMO, no low sensitivity speaker (less than 90dB/watt) will ever sound as dynamic as a good high sensitivity speaker (greater than 95dB). Thermal compression makes it physics a reality regardless of how much power you apply."Is not true. Thermal compression is a result of driver voice coil temperature and its effects (or lack thereof) on driver behavior. Theoretically thermal compression increases with power within a given driver, but that's NOT similar to two different drivers of two different designs exhibiting more or less thermal compression based on its efficiency spec. A very efficient driver/speaker system can readily exhibit worse thermal compression than a low sensitivity driver due to a wide range of various design features and attributes.
The idea that efficient drivers are always better drivers is not correct. That's like saying a car with better MPG is always a better car!
