Is SPL the same as sensitivity? That's what I meant to say. I looked up the Klipsch towers and they go from mid 90s in the Synergy to upper 90s for the Reference towers, 102 for the RF7. Maybe that's why these and the Bose can sound harsh to many people.

I hope you start feeling better soon I wouldn't make any decisions until your head clears up a bit. What equipment do you have in their now? How big is the room?
