"93dB @ 1watt
96dB @ 2 watts
99dB @ 4 watts
102dB@ 8 watts
105dB@ 16 watts "
Those numbers are nearly meaningless. For one thing, music isn't an RMS sine wave. It has a tremendous dynamic range. Then there's music's wide variation of energy content over frequency. For most program material - and this certainly applies to orchestra - a passage that generates 16 watts in the amplifier at 1kHz (1 kHz being the frequency for which most speaker systems are rated) will require much more power than that at lower frequencies to avoid clipping. In fact, an amplifier that creates 105 dB average SPL on music with a 93 dB speaker will likely need to be capable of producing 100 watts or better. And that's assuming the listener is sitting 1 meter away, a fact conveniently ignored by the "data" above. Move out to a realistic listening distance and you can easily double or triple that number.
