is 225w ALOT OF power for speak amps?It is in the review:
what's the the most common power output range for speaker amps?

The amount you need exponentially goes up. Just a few watts is enough for low key listening. Demand high dynamics and hundreds of watts is needed.is 225w ALOT OF power for speak amps?

wow, mhmm. my question is aim at regular home listening.The amount you need exponentially goes up. Just a few watts is enough for low key listening. Demand high dynamics and hundreds of watts is needed.
That was the answer . It also depends on your speaker sensitivity. The trend for modern speakers is to make them small which makes them inefficient.wow, mhmm. my question is aim at regular home listening.
What is a W range for a speaker amp for regular home use?

My multiband portable radio draws 1W from the wall when plugged in.
An old Pioneer receiver claims 45W.
My little JBL active speakers claim two 56W amps inside each of them.
The cheap powered subs claim 150W each.
My three power amps, at 4 ohms, claim 350, 500, and 700W per channel.
I know that doesn't help you, but that's what I have here.
I always wonder, does speaker sound better than headphone?
Speakers are far better...Thanks for the info..

mhmm.. I wonder what power I need for regular bookshelf speaker.....I know that I depends on speaker, but....
You need to know the sensitivity of the speaker. Problem is you need a lot of power to make small increases in perceived volume.mhmm.. I wonder what power I need for regular bookshelf speaker.....I know that I depends on speaker, but....
I would like to point out that the majority of your reviews are headphone amps and dacs thoughSpeakers are far better...
with speakers I do have to worry about sound bouncing off the wall and reverb, which means I need a perfect room and stuffThey both have their place.
I prefer speakers, but I have room for them, and no one complaining, whatever I do with them, whenever I do it.
That's because they are far smaller and cheaper to send back and forth. Love to expand and test more home products but you all are too cheap to subsidize me!I would like to point out that the majority of your reviews are headphone amps and dacs though
thx for info, so speaker sensitivity is the most important aspect of speakers.You need to know the sensetivity of the speaker. Problem is you need a lot of power to make small increases in volume.
To give some perspective if you don't have a sound level meter play just one of your existing stereo speakers. Get a handle on how loud that sounds. Now plug back in the second speaker. That is twice the power and and increase of 3dB.
Doesn't sound twice as loud though IIRC an increase of 10dB is perceived as twice as loud.
So speaker sensitivity is important, a 88dB/w speaker is like having two 85dB/w speakers. To make a 85 dB speaker sound as loud as a 88dB one you need to double the power.
I wonder if it has something to do with the demographic?That's because they are far smaller and cheaper to send back and forth. Love to expand and test more home products but you all are too cheap to subsidize me!
The amps need to be larger, heavier and with more parts so they are more expensive. Speakers though have become remarkably cheap. On the other hand there are a ton of expensive headphones. As long as you stay with bookshelf sized speakers, I think the cost can be similar..It is my impression that speakers and speaker gear in general is more expensive than headphone gear, why is that the case?
from my understanding, a decent speaker can easily go up to $10k (or even more), while the best of the best headphone is only $4k.The amps need to be larger, heavier and with more parts so they are more expensive.

I wonder why is that? I feel that speakers are not that complex compared to headphones.
