In Reply to: Amp wattage question posted by valnar on June 10, 2004 at 13:32:56:
>>>bump it up a little with a separate amp<<<85dB sensitivity at 4 Ohm? You'd better be prepared to bump it up a lot! Those babies are juice suckers and 200 watts per channel is not near enough for any sound level approaching realistic. Are you sure those specs are correct? 85dB and 4 Ohms? Seriously, I can't recall ever seeing numbers that bad.
>>>At what point is it enough?<<<
I have over 6,000 watts on tap. That's continuous watts -- not peak. I seriously doubt I will ever need it, but you never know.

Follow Ups:
Yes, I really fucked that one up, didn't I? Got the power and loudness screwed up. Sorry about that...For my penance, I promise to read a copy of Sound&Vision and not laugh, cringe or vomit.
...101 strings, or barry manilow.;o)
IIRC, it takes twice the power to gain 3dbs, and 10 dbs is twice as loud. 90 is twice as loud as 80 and takes a *lot* more power. 100 is twice as loud as 90 and requires tremendous power. With inefficient speakers, that is.For me to hit 100 requires about... oh, 2 to 4 watts :D
With some Inifnities I had in the past, to hit 100 you needed something like 300 watts.
