In a beautiful place...
I would like to know what do you guys look for in a good speaker?

Sensitivity?
Harmonic distortion?
Frequency range?
Frequency response?
Crossover frequency?
Nominal impedance?
Maximum output?
Amplifier requirements?

And on what values do you go on? Meaning what values must be higher and what lower for it to sound good pairing with the right amp?
