Speaker Asylum General speaker questions for audio and home theater. |

Currently Im using a:LP12/basic/Grado Ref
Music Fidelity XPS phonopre
Rotel DPS985 THX Prologic PreAmp
Rotel 1030 100x5 watt Amp
AudioQuest Intigo2 Cables
AudioQuest Viper Interconnects
Mirage 490i tower speakers
...rated 89db sens, 8 ohmAll in a room thats 12' x 24' concrete floor and brick walls. Phoenix Az.
I bought a volumne level detector at RatShack and placed it at 1 meter and 2 meters right in front of one speaker. I got readings of 90db at 1 meter and 92db at 2 meters with the volumne control at 11:00.
Ive heard some poeple comment that they like to play their speakers at over 100db. If i try to turn my system up past 11:00 I start to get sound compression. Just past 12:00 I start to hear a low throbbing hum like the bass is getting over loaded.
Any ideas on why this is my upper limit of 92db?Also, Im planning on buying the GR Research Paradox3 speaker kit or A/V-1+ kit and having ASL WAV-8 mono 10watt tubeamps drive them. Ive heard some poeple say that they had this combo and were satisfied with how loud they played.
Any help is appreciated. :)
