Right now I'm powering a pair of B&W 802D's but I have a pair of Magico S5's on order. The S5's are rated 89dB where the 802's are 90dB.
How big is "big?" The room is about 24' x 27'
I don't have a problem filling the room with a single E.A.R. today (70wpc). When I think about the formula that doubling the power brings "just" 3dB more... given that dB is a log scale doesn't than mean 30% louder?
I don't listen to much music at high volume - so, the question is as much about the "quality/qualities" of the sound.
