[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 74777, member: 693"] Well, not really because 10 times the [i]audible[/i] level would mean roughly 100 times the available power (all things being equal of course). If doubling the audible level represents a 10 dB increase in level then quadrupling power will yield just under that figure, provided the speakers could handle and sustain that level of power without compression (fat chance of that ever happening ). If you double the perceived volume then you've just achieved a 10 dB increase (allegedly). If you double power you'll gain a 3 dB increase (best case scenario). However not all sources claim 10 db's to be the threshold for doubling perceived volume. Some claim 10 db's while others claim 6 dB's (or anywhere between 6-10 dB's). [/QUOTE]
