General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: SPL, rated power, and sensitivity question

"Remember a big factor is the room, how far back you are sitting to."

In open space, out doors with no structures or anything for the sound to bounce off of around, there is a 6db loss for every doubling of distance. In a typical living room, with typical speakers there is no loss with distance because the reverbrant field starts at about one meter so if your speakers are rated at say 92db 1W 1M and of course you have two of them and two amps so the sounds adds. Two speakers rated at 92db with one watt going into each gives 95db. Two watts each gets you 98db and so on.
