Well DB - I can only answer for my H/K - it goes to +8 I believe. Which at a 70 +36 = 106 dB's per speaker (given the -27dB = 70 dB's / speaker calibrated) would probably cause a bit of hearing damageOriginally Posted by dodgerblue
And yes, when speakers are tested at 90 to 95 dB's, they're given quite a bit of power - but depending on the speaker and the type of power it is getting I wouldn't necessarily say that they are being pushed hard.
