Way Floorstanding home audio receivers with way less output then most speakers?
I am looking to get some bigger speakers for my home audio set up. I have a yamaha htr 6030 receiver with the 5 yamaha satellites it came with. Most floorstanding speakers are capable of handling 200+ watts but most receivers are only 100 watt per channel, and even a lot of amps are the same. Want to know if there are any good amps that can put out 300 or 400 watts per channel and not cost over 1grand but still sound good.
What happens is that most of these new receivers have 7 channels. So at 100 w per channel is 700 w.
So, if you want one with 200 w x 7 = 1400 w will of course cost a bunch.
The acoustic power emitted by all 7 speakers adds up to a significantly high Sound Pressure Level. The floor standing speakers you refer to, are in most cases for stereo sound and the overall SPL may not be much higher than that from a 7.1 system.
Another thing is that manufacturers do not specify speaker power handling consistently. They refer to it as Watts RMS, Watts Peak and other misleading ways of making it look better than it really is.
Without trying to sound too technical, there are many factors relating to speaker design and many of them relate to power specs. Speakers running rather continuously at high power levels, close to their max, experience power compression. The reason is that their voice coils get hot, so their resistance increases, this lowers the current they take from the amp, and since the voltage is the same, the power goes down, producing a lower SPL.
