[QUOTE="SicAudio, post: 6604783, member: 609136"] An 85dB sensitivity speaker will have power/dB ratios as follows: Power SPL 1 watt 85 db 2 watts 88 db 4 watts 91 db 8 watts 94 db 16 watts 97 db 32 watts 100 db 64 watts 103 db ... And so on. But power != volume, and perceived volume will double at a roughly 10dB increase, not 3 dB. [/QUOTE]
