In Reply to: Peak Listening Levels - Some analysis and some thoughts... posted by DevillEars on February 28, 2007 at 09:22:27:
1) If your standards for comparison are the sounds heard when 6-8 rows back from the conductor at a symphony concert, then whether an amp has 250, 500, 2000 w/channel are an essentially irrelevant consideration... A system - including how the amp drives it - either "delivers", or it does not...2) The female portion of a household can have some strange ideas about the priorities surrounding an audio system... I took the flexible and pragmatic approach, declaring that since the wife's interest in cooking was similar to my interest in music, that I would allow her a completely free rein as to how she designed her kitchen requirements, but that I insisted that I would have total decision-making rights over arrangements for both the audio system and listening-room...
Where's the problem?...
Bill.
