Basically, keeping all else equal, you can increase a driver's sensitivity by either using a stronger magnet, or by putting more turns of wire on the voice coil. It seems like Audeze has gone for the latter, with their "ultra-high-density voice coil." That would increase the sensitivity as well as the impedance of the voice coil, which appears to be the case her given their 106dB sensitivity. All in all a good thing. A planar with the sensitivity usually reserved for dynamic headphones. And that 1,200 ohm impedance would indeed be a godsend for OTL amps.
Good on Audeze.

What about an amp like the WA2?
