Thanks to everyone who responded (the beauty of online forum!). Yes, nothing beats actually listening to the speakers to know how they sound. I guess I'd have to wait until this pandemic situation eases to a point where travel restrictions is lifted here.
Anyway, responses from a few of you about speakers SPL and keeping the amp running in Class A (up to 20W) have prompted me to dig in a bit deeper on the calculation.
It seems the SPL level of the 3 speakers are rated based on per 2.83V, not per Watt.
Rubicon 6/ 4 ohms / 88.5 dB
Dynaudio Excite34 / 8 ohms / 86 dB
Acoustic Energy Ref 3 / 6 ohms / 90dB
Converting those figures to per watt equivalent where nominal impedance is factored in, the figures per Watt per meter would be
Rubicon - 85.5 dB
Dynaudio - 86 dB
AEnergy - 88.7 dB
The Rubicon would be the one that produces the lowest sound pressure per watt.
Just sharing!
