Time for some more maths and numbers.

I played my favorite tune today for bass peaks (see link below). This is the tune that shuts down my ADA with M5s long before my ears give out at 10 feet away. That happens at about 1:33 where the M5 draws in excess of 340W. This is right about at the 375W single channel peak limit of the ADA.

Shut-down is not a problem with the active 1100. At 10 feet away, I can push the actives to 116dBC which is the absolute limit of my pre-amp and more than 10dBC above my ears giving out.

This brings up the matter of how close to the limit is the single channel that feeds a trio of HP woofers at that tremendous bass peak. I can say now that the 1000 still has a few volts it can go before it shuts down.

This means the power of the 1000/active LFR combo is a good choice for a 2-channel set-up in large and even very large rooms.
