Just trying to justify if there will be a noticable difference in output ability or would I notice a "cleaner" sound from my 25(22)-31 CS. The Technics 2 channel is 100x2. Cost me about $120. I hear people mention the plate amp, will I have to get one with twice the power of my receiver in order to get 3db more output?
Another thing, I am afraid to turn up my main volume past 15db under ref because of the horror stories on here about bottoming and clacking, frying amps and such...will i have less worry with a plate amp thats made for a sub or should I not worry too much if I dont listen all the way to ref. anyway? BTW, the receiver is set at about 3 o'clock -11 on my DD/dts decoder. Room is about 3500 cu/ft at most..
thanks!
Oh, one more thing. If you are calibrating to 75db using the meter, what IS 75db on the meter? Is it +5 or +3 setting? When set of course to C, slow , 70...
