Current, Amperage



I’m trying to make sense of the argument about various types of speakers [ sensitivity, brand, etc ] and their relationship with power/ current/ amperage.

Can someone please provide some basic perspective.

I have a 91.5db tall floor speaker [ Focal Chorus 826V ] and what should I look for in an amp to drive these? How much power do I really need with all things being equal? I use a VTL tube 2.5 amp if that matters to the discussion.

Thank you.

hey elevick, i've read the 'stereo review' magazine from 1970 till their retirement. jullian hirsh says the when you 'triple' your power, you will gain 3db in volume.
