Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Just to clarify...

The average power was reading 1 Watt most of the time, which would give 89 dB SPL by the speaker sensitivity estimate. The peak power of 240W was only on one particular track of one CD (the Rikki Lee Jones track), and that was only for an instant. So it wasn't like we were listening to 110 dB SPL for anything other than a brief instant of a cymbal crash (which actually didn't sound that loud at all). I suspect the speakers were probably compressing that peak a good bit too.
