spl levels


Are my expectations too high in thinking a mini monitor can play louder than 90db without compressing ? Keeping in mind they will be crossed over below 80hz in a HT system.Mine seem to do well up to 85db and no more.Your opinions are needed on what monitors will keep up.

It depends on how big your room is and how far are you sitting from the speakers.
Are you talking specs at the standard 1 meter, or from the actual listening position?
A little more info...I sit about eight feet from my stand mounted mini monitors.My room is about 13'x15'.My amps are about a hundred watts per ch.I use three for HT.I am looking for new monitors that give me a bit more headroom.
