Here are a couple a simple-to-built LED audio output meter schematics. Easily fast enough to register peaks. They're limited to 10 power levels, and won't give you fine measurements though.

Amplifer Wattage Question
I was just woundering if there is a way to measure the wattage during a normal listning session that your amp. is putting out. I know that a 250 watt amp. is not at full output at normal listning levels, or low volumes ?
How can you determine output at different volume levels?
I am just curious.
Thanks
