Room size has little influence except for subs, 90% is seating distance.
Focal states 93dB sensitivty, but Stereophile and SoundStage/NRC have shown other Electra Be models to be about 3dB lower than spec, so 90dB, which is still above average.
Room gain for a tower speaker is about 3dB, so back up to 93dB; seating distance of 15ft is about a 9dB loss, so now 84dB.
If you want peaks of 100dB, you would need +16dB, which would be ~40W.
Now, it’s not good to operate at max wattage all the time, so I would say a 75W amp would suffice (again, assuming wanting 100dB peaks).
Now, it’s impedance drops pretty low and for bass frequencies, so I would suggest getting an amp that states 150W+ into 4ohm.
