In answer to SPL questions...
Friday I had someone over (will create a separate posts for my 3 visitors so far) and we were listening to Pink Floyds' "Time" at -6db (95db avg. on the SPL meter). My friend wanted to "really check it out" so I slowly moved the knob up. I reached +12db on the volume (can go up to +18) and the SPL meter went to 112db. Sound remained crystal clear for the duration, but I quickly had to bring it back down as the windows were shaking so much I got afraid they would burst or that plaster would fall off in the appartment below!
Brought it down to 106db on the meter for a good minute. Apart from being loud, it was not painful at all. This amp can really deliver when asked to!
