"... not to mention that pro usage is not comparable to home audio"Sorry, I flatly reject that; in fact, besides that all the physics are the same, the longer I am at this the less distinction (and need for distinction) I see.
As for the JBL article, no, I don't believe by any stretch that they wrote it to sell higher power amps; they wrote it to lower warranty costs, as did Klipsch, etc.
"Today, pro sound production companies can monitor speakers and amplifiers real time via computer links to built-in sensors in the equipment, not to mention using limiters that immediately cut power to prevent clipping. They take no chances."Yes, I know that, and I know that that pro sound people still know the value of sufficient power.
Anyway, here is another newer doc that describes recommended power based on speakers input rating. But then again, maybe they are just trying to sell something..........
