From what I understand(I don't build speakers), when manufactures build speakers they will match speakers of different sensitivity ratings, the cross-over will in itself use up a given amount of the amps output( this will vary with each cross-over and each speaker)the mid/low driver may have a sensitivity of x amount and the tweeter x amount. These variables are usually not the same (matched) but different. A average of the two is calculated somehow and the crossover is then calculated in also and the final resistance is measured and a givin # is the result the outcome. What I am trying to find out is the seperate values of the individual drivers.

Hello again folks, my error on the efficiency/sensitivity term. Sensitivity is the measurement I was looking for.

I have been reading information about the Klipsch line and reading lots of reviews from current and past users/owners. I have noticed that the RB-5 model gets alot of praise. This is interesting since it does not seem to own "better specs" or features than many other models in the Klipsch line. What makes this model so different from the rest and is the new RB-5 different from the older model?

Hello, I am new to this board and never owned Klipsch speakers. I have adutioned the RF-3 and RF-5. I am interested in a possible purchase. I would be interested in bi-amping. I am courious as to what the efficiency rating of the mid/low section is from the high end(as I will be trying to amp match for specific duties). Another question is, are these speakers (RF-30 really 98% efficient? I have read otherwise and am wondering what any owner or Klipsch will say about this discrepancy. Thank-you
