Is the Focal Theva No1 an easy to drive speaker?
Focal Theva No1
CHECK PRICE

There are two main factors that set how easy or difficult a speaker is to drive, these are Speaker Sensitivity and Impedance. A speaker rated lower Ohms requires more current than a higher Ohm speaker. Similarly, a speaker with lower sensitivity requires more power to reach the same volume as a speaker with higher sensitivity.

Focal Theva No1's nominal impedance level is 8 Ohms but can go down to as low as 4.6 ohms. 8 Ohms is pretty much the standard impedance amongst stereo speakers and amplifiers so Focal Theva No1 is not considered a difficult to drive speaker from Impedance perspective.

Focal Theva No1 has a sensitivity of 89 dB.
