spl levels

It depends on how big your room is and how far are you sitting from the speakers.

Are you talking specs at the standard 1 meter, or from the actual listening position?

A little more info...I sit about eight feet from my stand mounted mini monitors.My room is about 13'x15'.My amps are about a hundred watts per ch.I use three for HT.I am looking for new monitors that give me a bit more headroom.

I'd get some with a highish sensitivity of 90db or so and of good quality. You lose 3db every 3' you sit back from the first meter on a point source. Also the room acoustics play a significant role. If you have alot of overstuff furniture and carpeting it will probably have better acoustics but not quite as loud than hardwood floors etc. It can be done easily though if the speakers are upto it. Having a sub will help alot.
