It is a good question. I have a pair of 90 dB sen speakers in my workshop which is 16 × 20 and it plays to pretty decent volume with a 15 watt receiver but the system runs out of steam fast.
Speaker Sensitivity AND Power Requirements
Hi all, I'm considering purchasing a pair of heavily discounted Wharfedale Denton Bookshelf speakers from Music Direct. They are 86 sensitivity. This is for my man cave system the center of which is a vintage Yamaha Cr420 receiver which has a 22 watts per channel power rating. Would this be a decent match? 22 watts enough? Thanks in advance.
