Cantilope Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 http://www.crownaudio.com/en/tools/calculators#amp_power_required I have found this niffty calculator. I am 4 meters from my Jubilee speakers, I like 95db transients, 105db sensitive speakers and throw in 10db of headroom. 16 Watts to make my ears bleed. I hope this will help someone in a future amp purchase. I run a First Watt 25 watt amp for reference... Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyrc Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I think the Crown calculator calls for many times (about 5X) the power as this calculator: http://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well one calculates max SPL with multi-speakers and reinforcing with boundary placement and one calculates wattage requirements based on the speaker. I zeroed out the different elements between the calculators, headroom, multiple speakers, placement and I only saw .3db in the difference. Both useful tools and I think they support one another..

Deang Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If you listen in a small intimate setting, you can get by with next to nothing. Most will need between 25 and 60 watts. People with large rooms and enjoy live levels - will need a 100 watts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
