Is the KEF R6 Meta an easy to drive speaker?
KEF R6 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 R6 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 R6 Meta is not considered a difficult to drive speaker from Impedance perspective.

KEF R6 Meta has a sensitivity of 88 dB.
