In Reply to: Can I get by with 2 watts? posted by catbert242000@yahoo.com on December 9, 2021 at 12:43:14:
As a follow up; I put a decibel meter (NIOSH SLM) on my phone and used it to measure the sound level in the listening room at a normal, slightly loud IMO listening level - the meter reading ranged about 70 -80 dbl at 2 meters..
The volume dial on the amp was about 25 - 30%.
If the speaker sensitivity is 96/97, what does that say about how many watts are running? Less than 1 watt? is that possible?
Is there any way to measure the power draw with a multi meter?
