Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: Where do you get your "audibility" theorem?

"...you have Morricab beat by 28 watts"

I don't understand.....

"2 watts max, what! you listening at the level of inaudibility...."

No. My speakers are 97db per watt. I have two of them in the room and 2 watts to drive each with.

That would give me 103db peak.

If the music I listen to has 16db peak to average then I can listen at 87db average. If 20db peak to average then 83db.

85db for 8 hours straight will do permanent hearing damage.

I don't think I ever listen that loud.

BTW I don't use tubes amps for bass for a couple of good reasons.

Edited to correct math errors.
