What speakers play the loudest cleanly ?


Wondering what speakers you guys have auditioned that play very loudly while remaining clean? In my (limited) experience it would be Revel Salons but I'm wondering what else is out there along those lines? I have no particuliarly good reason for the question, just curious.

Hello all, I think that when someone says what speakers play loud or I listen loud we need a reference. The poster of this post says "that play very loudly" what do you think is loud? Have any of the responders measured their system when it is playing loud? How loud is loud? 90db+, 100db+ or perhaps 110db+. I am sure the last would be loud. High 90dbs to me is loud in my system with rare peaks above 105db and even rarer above 110db.

Hi Stehno, I find those levels to be loud enough (maybe it is not loud) but it is a personal thing. I agree that 94-105db is room filling etc. At that point it is loud though quite listenable. It does matter though on your system and room acoustics. Some people say that 90 db is loud and others say 80db is loud while others feel that 110db is it. Hence my curiosity when people make reference to a level it needs a number to back it up from their personal experience or what they are trying to achieve.
Thanks for the compliment on the bikes, are you into bikes?
