A +3dB difference in speaker sensitivity means doubled SPL but the difference in loudness is not huge.
It would need +10dB to double loudness.

Re: Speaker matching
The above reply to the op is correct in regards to the relationship between the two.
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!
Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Re: Speaker matching
THank you for birgning up this precision. I was under a wrong impression, based on a lack of knowlage it seems.
THank you for correctingme on this matter.

Reason is the logarithmic sensitivity of the human ear.
So it takes 10 times the sound pressure to double subjective loudness.
(3dB is a factor of 2, 10dB is a factor of 10.)
