So Newton's third law or Ohm's first or Burke's Law or something cancels out the gain in amp power because the resistor attenuates. Okay. I got that.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Doubling amp power only gives 3db more which the resistors eat.
I was more concerned with damaging the woofer on peaks with a 60 watt into 8 ohms rated amp than about loudness.
So I need to get a cheap 200 watt/channel like an Acurus or NAD for the mains, I think, yes?
Thanks Guys!
