The Chorus I is rated at 101db and that woofer is 96.8 db for a serious output difference. I briefly tried finding the exact specs for the K-48 and could not but if memory serves me well they are well over 96.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for correcting my error. Can you tell me why the speaker as a whole is rated one way even though the largest driver is rated lower?

Dave A Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 OK there are three drivers. A tweeter a mid horn and a woofer. The stated efficiency of the Chorus, the complete speaker, by Klipsch is 101db. How does the complete system arrive at 101db when the woofer is 98db?

Placing the woofer in a ported cabinet increases the efficiency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 There is a lot there I don't understand. For example my MCM 1900 ranges from 98 to 100db but I can tell you when I unplug a pair of Fortes or Chorus speakers and then plug in the MCM's without touching the volume the MCM is louder and has far more drivers to push.
