    Default Got my new PE catalog today

    It seems like the sensitivity ratings on the raw speakers are a little more conservative in the new catalog. I see they are using the one watt instead of 2.83volts for the sensitivity rating. But it shouldn't matter on 8 ohm speakers.

    Why would they do that? What a loss of intergrity in the data. After all the preaching to clarify that amps are voltage sources and we must rate the sensitivity at a constant voltage to be able to compare drivers, PE goes back to a variable rating in Watts. Bummer.
