The distance from the speaker depends on the speaker too however. I took a measurement of the E at 1 meter and 2 meters and the volume at the SPL was virtually identical - a very slight half a dB drop off. Another speaker dropped by 4dB in the same room.
A stable impedance loudspeaker isn't requesting more power from the amplifier at different frequencies the way other speakers do. So a loudspeaker that is a flat 5 ohm speaker is 5ohms at 25hz and at 1khz. If this speaker is 92dB it is a VASTLY easier speaker to drive than a speaker that is 100dB sensitive but drop to 0.5ohms at 25hz through 100hz but is 9ohms the rest of the way. This speaker may play louder but it will suck anytime there is bass.
People who have not had direct experience with the AN J and the OTO specifically really have no truck with me. I lived with the combo for 13 years and had I not moved overseas I'd still have the combo. I listen to trance, metal, full scale classical, percussion. There was no issue with volume level, or bass.
At the California Audio Show the AN Room played as loud and louder with less distortion than pretty much any other room. SO you kind of have to believe what the ears are telling you. One of the other most powerful sounding rooms was sporting a 4 watt Whammerdyne 2a3 amp. And that amp was driving a pair of speakers with eight 15 inch woofers. Meanhwile the rooms sporting big Pass Labs amps for the most part sounded anemic.
