That's way below average..
Can't people tell the difference when they buy those models?

RP-600M (ASR), by @MZKM
Sensitivity: 88dB (300Hz-3kHz ; spec: 96dB)
RP-150M (Soundandvision)
L/R Sensitivity: 88 dB from 500 Hz to 2 kHz
RP-8000F (Audioholics)
92.1 dB for 2.83v at 1 meter, spec 98db
" Klipsch is using an in-room estimation of sensitivity that factors in a quarter-space environment over a greater distance. It is true that the in-room sensitivity would be increased, but I think that should be stated in their specs if that is their reasoning for their sensitivity rating. We've seen this discrepancy in other Klipsch products so it doesn't seem to be a statistical outlier in how the brand rates sensitivity of their products. "

The one issue with using a 300Hz-3000Hz range for specified sensitivity, is an artificial inflation of just that range in comparison to the bass from about 100Hz and below.
So the bass in the above mentioned range is about 3db or so less than the 300-3kHz range, resulting in a less realistic number overall.
