hey guys i know 95 db's for a period of time can damage your hearing so i dont need that. Im just curious with 90 watts per channel and using all 3 channels l/r/c would the cmt's be pushing very hard to hit 95db's at a 9 foot listening distance? I dont listen to them this loud for a long time but i do peak here etc. Just wanna make sure im not trying to push my speakers too hard thanks.

I don't think you will hurt them, and shouldn't be tough for the speakers to do..and 95dB peaks for your ears are not too bad, but not good for you either :) .

Use this tool to calculate how much power you need...but remember, this is for one speaker. If your amp can do 90wpc simultaneously into 3 channels, you'll be fine.
