[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 7644772, member: 555251"] In a perfect world, a doubling of power would translate into a 3dB increase on a perfect SPL meter. Lots of reasons why you may or may not see this pan out in reality. However, to hear a "doubling" of volume, as perceived by the ear, takes an SPL increase of 10dB. Our ears are horribly inefficient - 3dB of SPL change is commonly quoted as the threshold that our ears can perceive that "something's changed", whether an increase or decrease. [/QUOTE]
