Don't forget that the crossover used can affect how much power you will need, a complex crossover with lots of parts will need more power to sound dynamic than a simple or no crossover will. Some speakers have only a cap on the tweeters while others use no crossover(single driver designs) Tell us which speakers you are considering or what is your price range and I'm sure you will get lots of suggestions. For low cost try Hornshop Horns, Reference3 A Mm De Capo's will work with 8 watts also (92db@1watt1meter and only a cap on the tweets. I use Sonist Concerto2 (95db rated with good results paired with 5 watt amp.
Speaker db rating?
Does anyone knowthe ratio of a speakers db rating, 1 db at 1 meter,relitive to amplifier watts to power them well enough to be loud enough in a small room.
Example:what kind of db rating would one look for if a 8 watt amplifier was used?
How does each point,as the rating increases,affect the wattage needed to drive the speaker.
Thanks
