Web discussion's for power required for my Advent 2W,
an old bookshelf speaker (19" x 11" x7.5") which is still in demand as one of the best bookshelf speakers ever.
What Levels Should You Set Your Speakers To? Ð stampsound.com As a general rule speakers should be set between 70-80 dB in volume.
just-how-much-power-can-my-advent-speakers-take. | audiokarma.org/forums
At eight feet or so, in a normal room, with around 40 watts of continuous power, average output would be close to 100dB. Not concert levels, but pretty darned loud. And not far from their limits.
Moving from 60W to 80W for example would be a waste of time since it would only give you an extra 1.2dB.
A decent recording will have peaks 9-12dB above average levels. At an average power level of 15 watts, you would need 240 watts to accommodate 9dB peaks without clipping, and 480 watts for 12dB peaks. An amp rated at X watts RMS can deliver 2X watts at peak (theoretically). So, you would need an amp rated at 120 watts RMS for 9dB peaks, or 240 wattts RMS for 12dB peaks.
It's not clear. They may be talking about total watts not watts per channel here.
