This makes a whole lot of sense. Concert sound looks like a real challenge, especially outdoor concerts!
The reason I didn't account for the sum of two speakers, is I tend to listen to a fair niumber of recordings with exaggerated stereo separation, so I didn't want to consider that the two channels are contributing equally. Under ideal circumstances they would be but I prefer to have my system designed for worst case.
I still think 8W is inadequate for those speakers under a wide range of conditions, based on empirical experience, but the how and why of it acoustically are not so much within my grasp as I thought.
One thing I do wonder - if it's the case that the volume doesn change much with distance,
Why is it that when I use arrays instead of usual speakers, that the volume seems more consistent with respect to distance? I mean empirically if I have a line array playing I can walk right up to it and to the other side of the room and the volume is the same everywhere,
Whereas when I listen to, say, a bookshelf speaker it seems louder up close.
Is it just that the reverberant field begins farther away for the bookshelf speaker ?

For those particular speakers it must be...I guess.
I do know that the more directional the speaker is, the farther away the reverberant field begins.
"I still think 8W is inadequate for those speakers under a wide range of conditions"
That could very well be. I didn't meant to commit on that position per se, just the technical reasoning behind it.
P.S. I had another thought about the line array. It's kind of hard to get close to all the drivers at the same time vs. a small 2 way bookshelf speaker.

And thank you for doing so, more knowledge is always better!
