What I was getting at, is that folks get too rapped up in the whole loudness debate and start throwing mathematical scenarios into the mix. …..”it takes twice as much wattage to get 3 more db’s of volume”. That’s not the point, or reason to go with a higher current amp. What a person should strive for, is to get the cleanest supply of power they can afford. A mainstream 100 WPC receiver will not typically have a great power supply. On paper, going with 200 wpc amp would be overkill, but in reality, it’s just the next step up the food chain in cleaner power.
If one were to rely strictly to mathematical theories and calculations, then a five watt amp would be all that anyone would ever need.
