You're correct about how loud and damaging it would be. And it would be true if that speaker were closer to 90 dB efficient because 1 watt alone would be 90 dB which is dangerously loud long term. But I'd add that around 90 dB is probably the true efficiency of the Lore. There's no way a single, small driver can go down to 30 Hz and play 90 dB with 1 watt, much less 98 dB without horn loading and 30 Hz means a huge horn.

Good point. With most of the acoustic energy in much music being generated in the bass to lower mid frequencies, if a speaker is not efficient there, then it is not practically efficient.

Still, as you say, the risk of damage is high.
