[QUOTE="JacoP, post: 70854"] Without getting too technical and sparking a whole new debate, Watts is not something you hear. Decibels (dB) is what makes your ears hurt. ;) Watts is simply an Amp's ability to deliver that dB, and your speakers ability to translate that to SPL (dB), keeping in mind that 85dB can cause hearing damage and 130dB is the threshold of pain for a human. So, speakers are rated in SPL as well, but believe me that 70dB is plenty enough to hurt your ears and make your neighbours angry. ;D So don't get stuck at the point where you think you need te HAVE have 150W Amp to make the speakers sound good. There are a lot of other parameters (e.g. Sensitivity) of a speaker that would make it sound good, even with a 15W Amp... [/QUOTE]
