Nominal Impedance of the 4 Ohms means that the Golden Ear T44 is a difficult to drive speaker from nominal Impedance perspective, make sure that you choose an amplifier than can provide 4 Ohms for this speaker.
Many AVRs (audio/video receiver) in the market may have difficulty when the speakers dip below the 4 Ohms levels (this may cause clipping or even physical damage), so we recommend to not pair the Golden Ear T44 with an AVR but use an Integrated Amplifier instead.

Sensitivity

92dB of the Golden Ear T44 is considered a high sensitivity compared to average stereo speaker which makes Golden Ear T44 an easy to drive from Sensitivity perspective.
