Interesting.

So is 50watts rms per channel enough for sub 90db listening? I mean in my small room I dont think im even touching 80db.

It will be a couple of weeks until i get my denon 2808 with the emotiva. SHould I just unhook the speakers till then to play it safe?

I thought I read that these speakers at 1 watt rms produce 90db at 1 meter.
