[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 5346692, member: 549629"] "Headroom" is power that is never used, by definition. So, you are not looking to gain headroom, just usable power, the opposite of headroom really. The answer to how much headroom is too much... when your wallet says no more, or your sanity creeps in and tells you that you are well beyond the point of diminishing returns. Otherwise, there is no ceiling for headroom. But the answer to [I]your[/I] question is, when the coil starts getting stinky. That's when you back the gains off, and call it headroom. [/QUOTE]
