Re: How loud do you guys listen?

Since my system has been NVA I have found that I am listening at lower mean levels than previously. However peaks are just the same or louder.

I think you misunderstood my question. When I am listening to my A60 and it is giving out one watt and I turn the volume up and it's giving out 2 watts, is it still only using the same power?Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 11:41 am I don't understand the question. Half watt is half watt, it wont go to one watt.
There is a basic misunderstanding, I have written about it many many times here. It is very simple "loudness" is a factor of distortion not power. For the opposite of that half watt radio, if I had an old Tresham SR402 in bridged mode into 4 ohms it would be giving over 1k watts before it went loud in itself, but your ears would go loud (go into distortion) due to bone whip and your ears would be bleeding.
