84dB sensitivity needs power.
To do some math:
Placing it in-room would lead to about a 2dB boost (3dB for speakers with deeper bass), making it 86dB. If you sit 12ft away, that’s about a 7dB loss, so now it’s 79dB. If you wanted peaks of 100dB, you would need ~125W.
If you sit 6ft away and wanted peaks of 100dB, you would need ~65W.
