power conditioners, surpressors, and the like.

mostly to keep spikes filtered from your home theater gear.

nice on the purchases btw.

ohms is 'push' by the way. the lower the ohmage on the speaker, the 'harder' the effor the receiver has to shoot to get you your sound.

about the sensitivity, like i said,

it takes a reciever MORE increments to produce a speaker with lower sensitivity, than a speaker with a higher one...

so if speaker A has 80db, and you turn your reciever up to level 12,

you use speaker B that has 100db, youd probably only need the reciever to go up to level 8 to match the same sound the speaker A does.

its not a matter of how clean its being produced, its still sound no matter what.

cleanliness of the sound is measured in THD (total harmonic distortion)
