Default How do you personally shop for Hi-Fi speakers?

Whatever. My post was just an illustration of one reason why the
"general rule" is too general.


But a good example of what many people do think regarding wattage
requirements. They do not understand one speaker can put out less SPL
with over ten times the input power. Or that it may not even be able to
handle that power anyway, so can never match the 25W speaker.

Trevor.


The only thing most people understand is the angle the volume control
is at when it starts to get loud. The further anti-clockwise, the more
powerful the amp. Face palms all round, but that is the way it is.
