1.5 watts is 1.5x or +0.176db more than 1 Watt.
Loudspeaker in question rated 91db at 1 Watt / 1 Meter.
So with 1.5 watts, it plays 91db + 0.176db = 91.176db
Assuming you listening from exactly 1 meter away.That might be loud enough to enjoy, but you probably
couldn't use it to listen from the next room.On the other hand, you got 40 Watts. 40x more than 1 Watt.
Or 2x + 2x + 10x, Or 3db + 3db +10db, Or +16db more than
1 Watt. Add your loudspeaker sensitivity of 91db and we
get 107db. Now thats plenty loud enough for one room if
you don't often listen to Saint Vitus. And nobody talks
in too loud a voice to drown it out...But your speaker's maximum output is rated only 105db, so it
may no longer be working in its linear range. And that could
make even "good" music sound terrible even if the loudspeaker
isn't damaged in some way.I think the drivers you are looking at are far too inneficient
for the task of listening at 1.5 Watt, and perhaps too wimpy
for the task of running at 40 Watts. You certainly have not
left yourself any headroom for transients, perhaps even less
than the "normal" home stereo system.Check out the Audio Nirvana Super 12's. Just put them in very
simple open baffles, since you don't care too much about bass.
Add a sub or build properly designed enclosuers later if you
change your mind... They are full range drivers with 95db of
sensitivity.
