Does the amplifier or speaker wattage rating need to be higher or do they need to be the same?

Peak, Continuous, Prog, and Ect?

    I don’t have biases to any brand. But haven’t Klipsch and others also been known to greatly exaggerate their sensitivity ratings?

      Klipsch especially. I don’t know about other brands. Amplifiers have far more exaggerated specs TBH.

      Kilpsch uses in room efficiency instead of anechoic sensitivity like the majority of the industry. This makes their numbers bigger as it assumes a certain level of reflective gain. Just take 6db off most of their specs and you will get close to their anechoic sensitivity. It is a real number, just not one others use so its highly misleading when comparison shopping.
