Is the JBL Stage 280W an easy to drive speaker?
JBL Stage 280W
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.

JBL Stage 280W's nominal impedance level is 8 Ohms . 8 Ohms is pretty much the standard impedance amongst stereo speakers and amplifiers so JBL Stage 280W is not considered a difficult to drive speaker from Impedance perspective.

JBL Stage 280W has a sensitivity of 90 dB.
