Most metal grunge isn't going to need 25 db of headroom, try more around 10-15 max., 25 db is in the realm of classical and there is alot of classical pieces out there with that much dynamic range and more. Most recent metal/grunge/pop has very little dynamic range as it isn't good for play on the airwaves.

When you punch in the 10-15 db headroom the power requirements drop quite a bit, for most listening levels 80-95db, IIRC, it usually amounts to around 100WPC.
