In Reply to: Better "dynamics" from speakers on classical music posted by Frihed89 on April 26, 2012 at 10:53:54:
Just for fun last week I measured with my sound level meter how loud
I was actually playing the loudest passages of a symphony, in this case
Bruckner 9th. And guess what it was only 88 db and this was pretty loud, most of the time I would play at about 85 db.
Now my speakers are 92 db efficient which tells me that in theory
I would only use 1/2 watt of power at peaks.
I do not know how loud you play your symphonies but I am sure that you
do not need 100 db efficient speakers.
I only have a 30 W/channel amplifier and it seems to cope perfectly, I did try more powerful amps in the past with no audible benefits.
Once I was talking to the late Alan Wrigth from VSE and asked him how come
his 18 W amplifier could cope with his inefficient electrostatics and his reply was that it was perfectly adequate as he never played his music
over 90 db???
Obviously the size of the room is a factor.
