I watched it for max spl while noting the low average and the average high was about 95db. I would guess using 40db insted of 50 would be a closer reality as the sudden and brief 103 db would be in that clipped area that might not be noticed.

Using the 40 db range gave me an amp power rating of only 50W\:\) while 2.5m @60SPL for 91 sensitivity.



Thank you, I understand now you made a couple of measurement passes. Will offer my version a listen with the RS analog meter tomorrow as time allows.

Many thanks Again.
