SPL limits depend on the room and the speakers in use. With my VSMs (89dB eff), I can pretty much play the music as loud as I want in my 11' x 20' listening room. For certain VERY demanding material though, I can push the amp past its limits. In a bigger room though with the VSN, I can see the need for more power for the oaccasional time you may want to rock out.

With the TSMs which are 3db less efficent than the VSMs, I need to have a more carefull watch on the volume control and I can't get quite as carried away.

On my subjective scale, the Filarmoinia can play moderately loud, but not very loud. On cetrain works I do like to have more power, but for my regular listening levels with the VSMs it may only be 2 or 3 percent of the time that I run into situations where I am pushing the amp right to its limits. Its really an amazing little amp and will play louder than one would think with a moderately efficent speaker.


Happy Listening,
