No personal experience with SRS but from 40+ years in marketing and
engineering I would expect the efficacy factory takes second place.

In SR ? No, it's a balance.
Top end cone speaker based SR speakers can easily reach 102 dB with 1 W
of input @ 1m. Cheaper ones will still manage 95 - 98dB. Compression
driver horns may be in the 106 - 112 dB range @ 1W @ 1m.

Naah. Most people statistically judge a 10dB increase as 'twice as
loud'. These studies are cited in the Journal of the Audio Engineering
Society. Sorry I can't remember the volume and issue off the top of my
head, but I do have about 30 years of the journal on a bookshelf.
