Here is a brief video I took last night showing SPL peaks.
This is using two of the "centers" at 10 feet back coming off a 150 watt amplifier with headroom to spare.
As you can see, we are hitting 110dB peaks with 2-channel music, only 2 speakers, and there is no compression or distortion and bass is extending down to the very low 30's.
No subwoofer connected and the SPL meter used is a professional model and fully calibrated.

Dave,
You are making it difficult for me not to order the STC RAAL after reading your recent posts. Just bought a new place so I need to resist the urge to upgrade
Might you be able to shed light on any differences in sound between the STC and the Towers for 2ch listening?
Thanks.
Dave,
I hate to break it to you...but you really need to upgrade that TV
In all seriousness, that's some output! I also am curious - if one had the space for either the tower or the compact tower, would you necessarily recommend one over the other? What would the benefits be to running three compact towers across the front versus the "normal" pair of vertical towers and a "center" setup?
PS: Not the music I thought you'd be auditioning with. Hilarious

LOL. I read that line before I watched the youtube clip. After watching the clip, I see exactly what you mean.
Dave, damnit, stop taunting me with reports of how good the STC sounds. But seriously, I'm glad to hear that you are so happy with it. I love my Sierra Towers, but the STC is the one piece I've been waiting for to complete my home theater upgrade.
STC as mains - visually reminiscent of the old **** 901s, though it seems that's where the similarities end.
and adding in another variable, i wonder how well it would work to orient the STCs vertically instead of horizontally.
now what page did i see those off-axis measurements on....
