In Reply to: RE: No, I don't think equipment designers are stupid. posted by middleground on June 8, 2012 at 16:41:04:
"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.
