What is the name of the tool?

Forgive my absence of knowledge, but what is the name of the tool that one uses to measure the wattage coming out of ones speakers. I called it a watt meter to my family and got something that measures the watts and current coming from the outlet to the powered device I was using instead, for Christmas.

Watts don’t come out of speakers.
That's your prob.
Are you trying to measure loudness, i.e. debibels?
Either way, enjoy that KILL A WATT.

Meters are visual and distracting. I had meters on amps before. The ones with no meters usually sound better.

I prefer music following lights.

russ69 is all that.

Unless you can calibrate them, they’re useless.
If can you need a known resistance and a scope to allow them to tell you next to nothing.

You will get better use out of that KILL A WATT.
