Is the Paradigm Premier 100B an easy to drive speaker?
Paradigm Premier 100B
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.

Paradigm 100B's nominal impedance level is 8 Ohms . 8 Ohms is pretty much the standard impedance amongst stereo speakers and amplifiers so Paradigm Premier 100B is not considered a difficult to drive speaker from Impedance perspective.

Paradigm 100B has a sensitivity of 90 dB.
