Dave-- you're consistent and persistent. With a sensitivity of 92, according to my calculations, a 30 wpc amp will produce 107 dBs with an input of 32 watts (104 with 16 wpc). This is at one meter. According to doctors, sustained listening above 85 dB can damage hearing. 107 dB is damn loud, and at say-- 10 feet, dB falloff is not that great, maybe a couple dB. I have a radioshack SPL meter and I've checked my own listening levels many times. Go for it!
