"JBL rates the Paragon system at 82 db/watt at 15 feet."
Testing "4 tenths watt continuous average power: @ 15 feet: 100 db."So using the 3dB per doubling power assumption: If 82dB with 1 Watt, then to hit 100dB @ 15 feet would require 64 Watts with those speakers.
Are you claiming that your 0.4 Watt is equal to a normal amp's 64 watts?
Are you are measuring average SPL for power but not average SPL output?
What is the average to average or peak to peak? A 1ms tone burst of 100 watts will "average" 0.1 watts over one second and peak over 100db on speakers.
Did you test the same setup with a "normal" amp?Was someone screaming in the background?
