What you need is a speaker that can produce the dBs you want without blowing up.All you'll get when you buy speakers by looking at their power handling capacity are speakers that can handle lots of heat, which mainly translates into dynamic compression.
The problem with very inefficient speakers is their inability to turn watts into acoustic energy. Instead they produce low acoustic output and lots of heat. Guess where your musical peaks and therefore your dynamics go?
Look for a more efficient speaker that uses its input to produce acoustical output. That way you can listen to loud, uncompressed music with a few watts without having your speaker voice coils melt. Even your amp will thank you.
