I'm not sure I understand.

Let's say we both calibrate to reference volume with a common SPL level and choose to listen at some decremented level (say -5dB) below reference level.

If I record SPL levels at my seat at this -5dB level and come up with 100dB on the meter (for 88dB sensitive speakers) and my friend also listens at -5dB and records 100dB on the meter (for 100dB sensitive speakers), I'm not sure I see the difference in speaker sensitivity making a difference.

Does sensitivity make a difference beyond how much amplifier power is needed to get to a specific SPL? Granted, some speakers with a higher sensitivity may produce more detail at a lower overall SPL output, and thus can be enjoyed at lower SPLs.

Am I missing something? Did I make some bad assumptions?
