I meant that the dealer said I wouldn't have to use as much power in my room to play at the same levels as in his showroom, therefore if I wasn't using as much power to get the SPL I wouldn't make the cone hit its excersion. Sound correct?
Does room size affect volume and bass?
I listened to a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amatour II, I love them, only one problem, when I have one of my Reference Recordings with the Dallas Wind Symphony on, when it is playing loud, like around 90 DB and the bass drum cracks the speaker cone reaches excusion. This was at my dealers room which is 4 times the volume of my 19x13x8 room. He said that if the speakers were in my room playing at the same volume, they probably wouldn't hit the cone excersion. What do you think?
