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

What the obvious implication is that an inefficient speaker in a big room at high volume can never sound optimally as it will be hindered by the quality of the amps that are required to get the desired volume levels. Sorry if you missed that point.

So, unless you have a sensitive, relatively easy to drive big speaker that is not a horn, like the original Wilson X1 Grand SLAMM (95db/watt and an easy load) then your screwed with regard to ultimate sound quality...sorry...

A line source is a possible exception that will work with moderate power because they project the sound into the room as a cylinder rather than a sphere.
