And then some.Working hard to re-build my 300B mono-blocks. Got one done and should have parts arriving Monday so I can finish the second.
8 watts should drive my 106dB Edgar Titans leaving quite a bit of headroom even with a 400 Sq Ft listening room.
106 dB - 8 W
103 dB - 16 W
100 dB- 32 W
97 dB - 64 W
94 dB - 128 W
91 dB - 256 W
88 dB - 512 W
85 dB - 1024 WSo it would seem, if the above is to be believed, that 8W per channel into 106dB speakers is about equivalent to 1,000W per channel worth of sand amps driving my 85dB Joseph Audio 'Pulsars' in the family room (which ain't gonna happen).
Should have plenty of 'head room' when I finally get the second mono-block rebuilt.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
