Porziob: "Not everyone chooses to listen 105 db @ 3 meters."
I wasn't suggesting a constant listening level of 105dB! The articles I read referred to a system being able to deliver an unclipped momentary PEAK of 105dB, which equates roughly to a live performance level, at an average listening distance of 3 meters.
Of course I've heard of brands like Rotel, but even they make amps of 50 Watts/channel, which if matched with speakers of 87dB/Watt@1meter, could only manage an undistorted peak of around 95dB.
