At 102 dB? Yoiks. We are talking about music degradation of
an extreme nature when ear plugs must be worn during a
performance.

I take it then that your system at home never hits 102 dB. Good for
you, Howard.

Generally, 100 dB peaks are tops, and then only with action
movies. Never with music, even pop stuff.

Ten you very likely never listen to orchestral music at lifelike
volumes.

Ironically, this
means that I probably have four times the total system amp
power I need.

Yep - that's money that could have been spent on software.
