KLH Kendall 2B
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.

KLH Kendall 2B's nominal impedance level is 8 Ohms . 8 Ohms is pretty much the standard impedance amongst stereo speakers and amplifiers so KLH Kendall 2B is not considered a difficult to drive speaker from Impedance perspective.

KLH Kendall 2B has a sensitivity of 86 dB. With a sensitivity level of only 8 dB, KLH Kendall 2B is a difficult to drive speaker from Sensitivity perspective, so make sure to choose an amplifier with high power if you like listening to your music at high volume levels.
