[QUOTE="oNyX, post: 811233, member: 14295"] According to this below, the higher you go in watts the less difference in dB level you get per increase of wattage. To get a 3dB increase from 117dB to 120dB you have to double the wattage. [url=https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=332160] https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=332160[/url] In-rush current on linear power supplies can be a problem. If the device is too heavy of the PSU (or the in-rush current) it can blow the rectifier on power-on. [/QUOTE]
