Do we really need amplifiers with 100watts per channel?

[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 1174, member: 18"] Compression is used both to make say for instance vocal levels more consistent as well as reducing the peak to average power level in a signal such as in percussive instruments where the attack can be of a very high amplitute but only for a short period of time and by "rounding over" this spike it allows producers to make a sond sound louder. Compression is required for FM broadcast so that the signal stays within a given frequency range when modulated and transmitted and this used to happen after the mix in teh studio but thesedays the record companies are tying to have music (and ads) blare out at you so loudly that they are reaching the limits of how loud they can go withi a given signal and trading this off against the quality of the recording. A whole generation of music listeners is starting to get trained to this sound. It is always refreshing to hear naturally recorded drum set and very, very few speakers have the balls to make it sound like the real thing. [/QUOTE]
