When an amplifier is unable to fulfill your loudspeakers demands, a
damaging harmonic spike may be leaked to the high frequency drivers.
Another important point regarding loudness is that the dB scale is a
logarithmic one. This means that a 150 Watt amplifier will potentially
sound only twice as loud as a 15 Watt amplifier. If all of this discussion of
power and loudness seems a bit abstract, consider the example below.
The average acoustical power
developed by a person speaking in
a
conversational tone corresponds
to a mere 0.00001 Watts. The power that
would be developed by the entire population of the city of
New York
speaking at once would
barely illuminate a single 100
Watt light bulb.
