Post Subject: Target SPL and Amplifier SizePosted by Paul S on: 3/6/2025
Thanks NBC. Nice primer on speaker/amp interface. This is probably more than most people want to know about how much power is actually required to get fairly certain measured response from speakers, also some properties required for "linear performance" from the drivers, themselves over the course of such a test. Of course, a whole lot depends on the actual topology and in-system performance of both speaker drivers (including their implementations) and real world amplifiers. Of course this does not say anything about high-demands Music Listening, but it does provide some insight into the root, inner workings of the power transfer between speakers and amps. I think it's fair to say that most drivers and amps are not designed and proofed with these simple facts in mind, let alone re-proofed with high-demands listening.
