I *think* this is a simple question.

I'm wondering how loud the various Ascend speakers will go in relation to each other, assuming unlimited amp power and a 80h X-over.

The 340 would obviously be the loudest, but how much louder?

I'm not so sure about the 170 vs 200. Is the single big driver on the 170 capable of going louder than the 2 small drivers on the 200, assuming once again a 80hz x-over.

I'm assuming David has tested this, and it matters to him, or he wouldn't have put 2 drivers in the 340 and 200. :)

You can probably calculate something by looking at the rated sensitivity of each speaker and maximum power handling.

That information is listed on each speaker's specfication page.
