As I understand it, the sensitivity is an indication of how loud a speaker will play at given power. It's the low impedance that will kill a lot of amps and drive them into clipping. I watched Dennis short out his speaker leads with no damage. I did that on my ST70 and produced a nice big spark.
There is a great thread on AVSForum in the speaker section called "Need help on speaker efficiency". Sorry, not allowed to post a link here. Lot's on this very topic.
