In Reply to: We must have a different perspective on what constitutes "loud" :) posted by E-Stat on September 24, 2015 at 06:29:02:
Regardless of what any marketing copy says, the pair Bob has are quite limited. Like almost all experienced engineers, he is scrupulous at keeping the average SPL around 85 dB, with peaks of course running much louder. He has never had them run out of gas, but he is listening in an extremely quiet room at a distance of about three feet. (They're on the meter bridge of his console.)
I'm not surprised at the 125 dB claim; it's probably true. An SPL of 125 dB, measured an inch in front of the driver, becomes, I'd guess, 105 dB at arm's reach. (Try it - put you ear next to your speaker drivers. It gets surprisingly loud when you get in that close.)
Or it could be that Bob's S-30s are maybe from an early production run that had lower output. There are lots of possibilities.
