[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 74764, member: 693"] Roughly double the power would be needed to achieve the same level. Or if you want to achieve a 4-5 dB increase on the cheap without doubling power then simply halving the distance between you and speakers would do the trick. The inverse square law would suggest 6 dB loss (or increase) when doubling distance (or halving distance) but given the lossy nature of the room, bank on a 4-5 dB improvement. I remember there was a thread where we discussed the sensitivity vs efficiency of speakers. It sparked a little debate. :) [/QUOTE]
