What happens if I switch from 98 db sensitivity to 88?

On second look I got faked out by the steep negative phase angles. They always occur at times of higher impedance, so not so bad.

Not very good though. There are some negative numbers where the impedance is not very high. I think the Paradigm is the better and safer speaker for you.

Again, thank you for all your help. I put money down on the Paradigm Premier 800Fs earlier today based on yours and other's help and just posted an ad on Facebook for my old speakers. As you said, "Not very good though."
