Your amplifier is capable of over 150 watts @ 8 ohms as it has an additional 120 watts (class B) of headroom. It would have even more headroom (> 150 watts) pushing your Thiels. Depending on how fast the meter is you may not even notice the amp spiking into class B to cover transients. I listen in the 70’s with peaks in the 80’s (higher dB’s trigger migraines). I’m just getting over a headache that started yesterday afternoon (spent an hour waiting @ our local Apple Store for a tech to fix my wife’s iPod). |
frozentundra - My seated distance to speakers is similar to yours. Loud to me is 85 - 90 dB; over 90 db seems very loud. Normal listening levels are in the range of 80 - 85 db using a Radio Shack SPL Meter set to Slow response and 'C' weighting.
