I would look for a Threshold T-200. 100 wpc Class A. A great space heater. I have a pair of T-50's that I purchased of a former Threshold employee. They were modified at Threshold to run as 100 wpc mono blocks. Michael Bladalius did the modification. These amps run hot and look at your electric bill.
Help me spec n class A AMP, power calculation 85dB @ 1W @ 1metre
I was playing few pieces and recoding dB levels on my phone. After playing few tracks I see some parts of music sustains at 88db and peaks at 96db. I do like to hear music at this level for short periods of time.
I am using the following calculator: https://geoffthegreygeek.com/calculator-amp-speaker-spl/
Sitting at 10 feet away from speakers I see the following numbers:
Assumption amplifier headroom of 1.5 dB, 10 feet distance
For 88db 1 Watt + 14.2 dB requires an amplifier power of 26 Watts
For 96db 1 Watt + 22.2 dB requires an amplifier power of 165 Watts
For 102db (room SPL losses) 1 Watt + 28.2 dB requires an amplifier power of 658 Watts (Ridiculous?)
It would be great if I can go get a class A mono blocks that can do sustained 200 Watts for each speaker @ 8ohm/6ohm and call it day but I got no dough for that.
How do I spec for a good amp(and may be integrated). I would like something that can sustain 35-50 Watts for class A and have reserves for peak of 200 Watts.
