and has been around since '79...wow 45+ years -
Thanks @geoff. and @Woofers and Tweeters for bringing up the maximum volume issue. I've been thinking about power needs at reasonable listening levels, but this does add another wrinkle, doesn't it? My Forte IIIs are rated at 99 dB/2.83V/1m (just looked this up so I'm correcting my earlier mistake), and have a MAXIMUM of 116 dB continuous. To achieve that maximum requires something a little shy of 64 watts. The specs also show maximum power ratings of 100/400 watts. I assume that means 100 continuous or 400 peak, so we're pretty much in that 2X range. Personally, I have no interest in pushing my speakers to 116 dB, but I suppose in a huge room with a listening position pretty removed from the speakers, that might be somewhat reasonable. I take my measurements from my listening position and consider anything above 90 dB to be really, really loud, but it isn't painful and it sounds quite good. That is still probably below 1 watt of amplifier output. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm enjoying this discussion. I appreciate the participation. -
If I follow your argument correctly, does this suggest that a good, solid, high-end amplifier with high current producing 8 watts should sound the same as a good, solid, high-end amplifier with high current producing 28 or 280 watts into an efficient Klipsch speaker at the same SPL? It makes sense to me that it would but, again, just my assumption.
-
That is a good question. I would think it should be equal as a function of the speaker crossover network design, but that is just an assumption.

I’ve wanted to blow up a pair of 901 just to see. -
Headroom baby, woofers love watts. -

The same goes for audio equipment: We want to use all the watts we bought. -

Bose 901 was unlimited, until they weren't lol. The 2x the speaker rating is from a Klipsch brochure. I will try to find it, later lol -
Oh crap! The Polks are rated at 1000?!?
