Compare Speaker (L/R) — Side-by-Side Specs
Left/right speaker comparisons should weight frequency response linearity first — a speaker that measures ±3 dB anechoic from 80 Hz to 20 kHz is more usable in a real room than a louder one that honks at 300 Hz. Sensitivity matters when you have a modest amp: a 90 dB/W/m speaker needs roughly half the amplifier power of an 87 dB/W/m to hit the same SPL (3 dB doubles acoustic power; 10 dB is a perceived doubling of loudness). Confirm the impedance curve doesn't dip below 4 ohms if your AVR is rated at 8 ohms.
