I always read that the main difference impacting the power levels of equipment in Europe and Asia vs America was that the size of the rooms where sound systems are installed is much larger in the US.

Abe Collins made the same point below, and it makes sense to me. Even in the 1960's, new American homes averaged 1500 square feet. From what I've read online, American homes built over the past ten years are over 2000 sq. ft. while homes in Great Britain are a little over 800 sq. ft. Smaller homes, smaller rooms. With smaller rooms might also come speakers designed to be placed close to the rear wall rather than a few feet out. According to one speaker designer (Fibonacci), this can reduce the power requirement by a factor of four.
Sometimes that is a good thing!

I don't know where you read this but none of it makes sense to me.
Every British magazine I ever read at some point had a mention of relative room size and US mags also.
I did not dream that one up and, to me, it makes entirely good sense.
Look at the products from four five decades ago and the pattern is undeniable.

So, what's the point?
"I did not dream that one up and, to me, it makes entirely good sense."
Dream up what?

No way! I've spent too much time on this already. :^)
You are just a difficult person. Over and out.
You're slow. My position was in the subject line.
