87dB isn't the highest I've heard of from a cone-based loudspeaker (that was 108dB@1w from a 12" guitar speaker), but it's not the lowest either (82dB is the lowest I've seen used seriously).
A higher sensitivity gives the amplifier an easier time, but getting high sensitivity at the cost of everything else (as in the above-mentioned guitar speaker) isn't advised. A happy medium is in the mid 90s.

fairly average for domestic speakers.
Sensitivity of low 90's to mid 90's tend to be quite a bit more expensive and bigger and heavier. But, they can either play louder without feeling strained or can use lower power amplifiers that have used quality rather quantity as a major reason for their existence.
The speaker incorporate an overload protection circuit which i powered fron the speaker line, if that was disabled/bypassed would that increase efficiency?
