I am going to replace my mains speakers in the next couple months and I am looking for speakers that are both very clear and pretty loud. Right now I have Cerwin Vega VS 150's (bought em 5 years ago when ALL I wanted was loud) which have a sensitivity of 102! However, the more I listen to my Grado sr80 headphones, the less I can stand my Cerwins.
I usually listen to music around 85 to 90 db, but I do rarely crank it up to around 98 db (not for very long). My Cerwins show absolutely no sign of strain at that volume (neither does my receiver for that matter) and I'm sure they could go much louder. I am hoping that the m60's will be able to reach the same db without strain as well.
My room is 18x23x8 and doesn't open up to any other room. My receiver is a Yamaha rxv-3000 which is in the line that is one step down from the flagship.
Thanks for your help
