I think you copied wrongly liow!

Sensitivity is rated in dB or decibel.
The higher the number, the more sensitive it is.

My Focal is rated at 91 dB, which is considered as highly efficient although some speakers have sensitivity of 95 dB.

My Jamo A102 satellites which I connect to my Onkyo 605 is only rated at 86 dB, which make it less efficient than my Focal.

Of course these numbers are academic only, different manufacturers might use diff. methods in determining their speaker's specs so these numbers are not my 1st priority in choosing the speakers.

It's your wallet and your ears that count

The Jamo and Onkyo pairing is good enough for my weekend activity....
I need my daily dosage of music rather than movies, so I concentrate on stereo rather than HT.

U r talking about the dB rating for the Jamo is it?
I copied the data from the pdf file, which can d/l fr Jamo website.
It stated that for Jamo 102, the sensitivity (dB - 2.8V,1m) is at 86 dB.

I c....
I thought u're saying the data I posted for the Jamo is wrong

I don't use the Onkyo and Jamo for serious music listening...
The only time I use the Onkyo for music is when I listen to the radio at night and put it on sleep mode...
If I use my hifi set to listen to the radio before I go to bed, normally I wake up in the middle of the night and start searching for the remote to switch of the system.

For movies and PS3 only.... which is normally during the weekend.
That's why I just stick with the budget Onkyo and Jamo rather than the flagship models 875 or 905 or even Intergra.

Considering that they going to release the xx6 models less then a year after they released the xx5 series, I think I've made the right decision.

As I'm watching bluray on PS3, I set the Onkyo to PCM.
When watching DVD on the Oppo 980, I normally set to either DD or DTS.

Still no chance to watch bluray in trueHD unless future PS3 firmware can send the native signal to the Onkyo for Onkyo's onboard decoding.
Currently, have to let PS3 decode the truHD.

The different is there, but not so much maybe due to the size of the Jamo satellites.
Between the DD and PCM track, the PCM track sounds better, with more details and quieter background.
Maybe if I change the speakers I can hear more improvement.

But considering the 605 is the budget Onkyo, I think I'll make do with the Jamo for the time being.
At least, it looks cute with it piano-gloss finish

Haha!
Good one bro

Hear that rx330?
Time for u to upgrade to floorstander

Changing from 605 to 606 is considered as lateral movement, not upgrading.

U should at least go for 87x or 90x when the xx6 series arrive
Or better still, import the Integra AV-processor fr States or Japan.....

Then u can join the Elite class, with REON upscaler inside.... hehehe!

If not upscaling, can always get the 805 or wait for the 806

Sure can tahan for the next 4 years ah bro?
