So when the cannon goes off in the 1812 Overture, you guys don't use the subwoofer to take over? Does any body know what's the frequency of that canon in the Overture? Your full size speakers can deliver such power and such low frequency? I am just in awe, and I am afraid to find out what speakers do you guys have b/c I may inherit a bug that I cannot afford. However, please do tell, and I am all ears. :> )
Does the power of an amplifier really matter?
Excuse my ignorance, but I am trying to understand the meaning of amplifier power. A doubling of amplifier output power results in a 3dB increase in sound-pressure level. So, if I listen to my stereo at a volume of say, 70 dB, what is the difference in a 100W amp vs. 250 W amp? If I listen at 70 dB, is more power delivered to the speakers with a 250W amp vs. 100W amp (resulting in better driver control)? I am not sure that is the case. Is it that a higher powered amp delivers a given amount of power more cleanly? Not sure if that is true as well. Can anyone educate me on this fundamental property of amplifiers?
