How close to the real thing?
Hello frank , you stated 117 and 96 , those numbers are completely different from Atmasphere's. 
How close to the real thing?
Hello Atmasphere, I was referring to "Din" not peak db when describing ear splitting. If you are using the typical listening distance of 3M it would require 156 watts to do 110 db, very plausible you are able to do so with 140 watts when factoring...

How close to the real thing?
Hello Shadorne,I'm not using "ear splitting" as a pejorative and I have heard the studio "monitors" listed and have designed a few myself in the past, sometimes to replace, sometimes to assist those listed, so i'm aware of "loud and clean" and any... 
How close to the real thing?
Hello frank, You should deduct the 6db drop for every 1M from the speaker, since typical listening distance is about 3M that means your 96db would translate to 84db at the listening position with 1 watt, it would take a lot more than 120/ch to rea... 
How close to the real thing?
I would have to disagree frank ......Both would take considerable power, of course it's academic the less efficient would require more, but both would require such to sound alive.Please don't mistake ear splitting SPL to be what is being discussed...

Mapman ,The ohm's will not come close to reproducing the size or power of a grand being played in your house. A very good hi-fi system can sound like a piano, but will never fool you into believing it is a real piano, the size and power would neve...

Live musician in my House?Yes, my daughter plays, my friends play and teach music. A mini grand being played in your house cannot be matched by an hi-fi system, IMO not even close.There are many errors in playback (HI-FI) reproduction, the ones wi...

Krell Power Consumption
Interesting topic gents, I have used and listen to Krell stuff over the years and while powerful tanks, i was never really fond of the sonic's. Recently i was presented with the opportunity via a good friend to play around with a Krell he had and ... 
ESS and Heil air-motion tranformer - any thoughts?
Very familiar with the Heil AMTT, built quite a few speakers using them during the late 70's right up until 1990 when i could no longer get the units. Never cared for the ESS version, Very good driver and a Pity they ( ESS) never went into product... 
Try a different turntable?
Again geoch , there must be a comprehension issue, i never asked you to follow , i ask you to cut the condecension, not everyone is going to buy into the ID euphoria and there is nothing wrong if they dont.  
Try a different turntable?
Geoch , Boss of the thread ? I think you got my post wrong, no offense was intended.. my comment were not directed at anyone per se , just in general. My apologies ..regard,
