lol, oops. This was supposed to be a surprise for the sub. Shhhhh
I thought you weren't going to ever buy a TOTL w/ demoing first???
Duly noted. Mums the word... :X
HAHA, exactly what happened to me. Bought T1 by word of mouth while HD 800 was in the display shelf 1 foot away.

Indeed, T1 is rated at 102dB when supplying 1mW at 500Hz.
I'd think that since the same voltage is applied when obtaining the FR graph for the T1, we can assume that when the amplitude on the graph is higher, T1's sensitivity is higher too.
There is a positive correlation between sensitivity and the amplitude measured across the frequency spectrum.
(I think that it might be non-linear, considering the dB unit. more logarithmic, I'd say.) Perhaps someone's got the tools to measure?

For what it's worth, the power formula is P = V^2 / Z*, Z is the impedance of the load, Z = P + jQ, P is resistance, Q is reactance of the load. .
Strictly speaking, Z* = P - jQ, the complex conjugate of the impedance. this is the definition for power when we consider reactance and impedance instead of purely resistively load.
In T1's case, since it produces phase shift across the frequency spectrum, I believe that it is safe to say that it has a non-zero Q, else T1 would not introduce phase shift with varying frequency.
We might need to shift this to Sound Science department, though
After months of specs evaluation, I feel that musical components like T1 are best evaluated by ear, not specs. Cheers!
