I understand wid's point. In the big room with just 70 watts per channel the speakers sound plenty loud. (Earlier I said 50 watts but that is for 5.1) They just seem a little thin, if that's a good word. It's really hard to explain. The speakers are loud enough and they are crystal clear. It just seems like something is missing that wasn't in the smaller room. They don't seem to have the same dynamics. They are not bad by any stretch of the imagination. I have also come to a realization. I have always told my wife, it's not that I like the music that loud . It's just that my speakers inefficiencccy makes me play it that loud to get the full dynamics of the recorded sound. I truely believed this myself. Well that is total BS. I like my music loud. When it reaches a certain level music can just carry me away. It's never too late to learn something new about youself. Now I'm going to try the speakers in the bedroom system.
