Is the KEF Q11 Meta an easy to drive speaker?
KEF Q11 Meta
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.

KEF Q11 Meta's nominal impedance level is 4 Ohms but can go down to as low as 3.2 ohms. 8 Ohms is pretty much the standard impedance amongst stereo speakers and amplifiers so KEF Q11 Meta is not considered a difficult to drive speaker from Impedance perspective.

KEF Q11 Meta has a sensitivity of 89 dB.
