What's the output of your home hi-fi speakers?

[redcogs]

Ha, the output of our AudioNotes consists of Lou Reed at this moment..

two volume controls is so 1970s

100 watt pair of early 90s Jamo's. Which I haven't actually reconnected since getting the living room painted in the summer. The stereo is a second hand Pioneer stack thing. Wattage unknown.

You'll be pleased to know that my speakers are indeed very efficient, although I can't tell you their exact SPL as I don't have the necessary measuring equipment. They run very happily off a small 35W amplifier and can be cranked up to a considerable volume without distortion or damage. In short, this means that my speakers are ace

Like Crispy, by the looks of it, I built 'em myself.

Mine were built by Wharfedale at least 40 years ago. Super 10/RS/DD drivers. These are the orginal cabinets; it's just that the cloth mesh has long since withered away. They're very efficient. I only need a little T-class amplifier like this to fill the room with music and rattle the windows in the loud bits of action movies.

 

[teuchter]

Very similar to the amp I've got.

 

[chemn]

Alesis m1 mk2's for the computer (75w a piece) and mission 701's for the decks. The missions go up to around 100 w powered by a Cambridge Audio 504a amp.

I'm going to predict that this thread will continue for some time without a single poster being able to answer the question in the title.

I certainly can.

Just looked at the back of mine. They say 100w

They also say "Ermine Business Park".

That's part of their output right enough. Most meaningful answer so far in any case.

Ah yeah, I have a pair of those Alesis too. My DAW pc's monitors. Yeah, they get used more than the hifi does. Even if just for playing music or films more than recording.

No, this is wrong. As i suggested above, the output of my AudioNotes consists of Lou Reed, who provides the most meaningful answer so far:

Sorry, missed that.

i was merely jesting teucher

Although Dimestore Mystery remains meaningful

I think, pedantry aside, we both know what the OP meant.

They're alright. Mine have always been a bit dodge. One used to cut out when used at higher levels, then it went pop. Had to get it a new amp board Then one of the switches went on one of them recently. Easy enough to bypass the switch and use a mains switch instead though.

Well, it's rather clear from the OP's opening post that he didn't really know what he meant.

 

[Poi E]

500wrms pc feeding 98 dB/wm 500 w speakers. Probably running on about 5w most of the time, damn terraced housing. Proper old school ugly speakers.

Not "Metal Machine Music", I hope!

Our TV and stereo system runs through a Marantz NR1403 receiver, with 2 x Polk Audio Monitor 65T floor speakers and a Polk Audio CS1 center channel speaker. The specs for the floor speakers say:

• Total Frequency Response: 38Hz - 25kHz
• Upper -3dB Limit: 24kHz
• Lower -3dB Limit: 48Hz
• 8 Ohms 20 - 200 Watts per channel
• 90dB

I don't really know what any of that means.

When I was looking for a relatively cheap system to upgrade the sound quality for movies and TV, I focused mainly on user reviews and value for money. I got all of them on special, and they've been great for the past three years. We live in a condo-style building, sharing a wall with our neighbours, and I've never cranked the speakers up to full volume because they get downright un-neighbourly well before that.

My amp is 30+ years old and still going strong. Mission Cyrus 2 ftw.
