In my 7.1 screen room I have 3 V3 M80HP's with V4 tweeters. They are powered by an axiom amp, the ADA1000-4.
I don't plan on listening at the level you confirm but thought it would be neat to confirm its a non issue at the moment.
That said my sound proofing efforts really paid off. If I had confirmation I could increase the SPL while I was out of the room and confirm I had an appropriate amount of head room I probably would try it out.
I am not a math guy, this is a legit question. If you need more info just ask.
I need an excuse to buy a ADA1500-4. Please help.


I'd still be curious to know a semi official answer.
To remove a few of the variables, please consider 2.0 or 3.0 with the M80HP's only.
I'm fairly certain the 1000 and HP's are a perfect match in this room. I know I have quite bit of head room but the movies I watch will chew through that fairly quickly in the instantaneous peeks.
