We cover 50
amplifiers rated
91 to 120 watts into 8 ohms
(100W to 120W).
Useful headroom for larger rooms, or for speakers that dip low in impedance. The step up from 60 watts to 120 is 3dB, which is real but smaller than it sounds.
Watts are the most over-read number in
audio. Doubling the power buys about 3dB, and a speaker 3dB more sensitive buys
you exactly the same thing for free. Before shopping by wattage, try
the amp and
speaker matcher to see what your speakers and room actually need.
