unhelpful. It is the influx of, and down right contradictory, information I have found that leads me to the questions I have posed.
I certainly understand that raw numbers and real-life are separate, however, specifications are there for a reason. Speakers have a threshold for wattage, and though there is no good information on how much a specific driver can take, I'm trying to at least choose ones that are less likely to have issues.
These speakers aren't meant to sit in a specific room, at a specific angle, with a specific amount of sound dampening on the wall, with three specifically arranged candles burning with wicks at a specific rate and lumen intensity (chiding on the latter). These will be speakers that could end up in a variety of rooms/positions with any manner of objects strewn throughout.
The components I have decided upon, which haven't been mentioned, were chosen based independent measurements after going back and doing more research. I will, in fact, be using an active crossover with the speaker build to decide on a specific crossover-point. This will be an auditory test, which is far more important than anything else I could use to measure.
What I am trying to accomplish, is to build a set of speakers that will let me practice and test knowledge I have gained through research. Trial an error, if you will, that will hopefully sound as good or better than mass-market speakers I can buy for the same amount.
Lastly, and perhaps most important to this response. If the object of your post was to help, you have managed to fail most spectacularly. I am not posing questions here without doing my own research at the same time. I do not value random people's opinions so highly as that. In the future, it would be better to approach a persons query with helpful information, as opposed to critiquing their choice/method of research.
