The room is such that the LFE is greater within the house with the front door open. My daughter played a U2 DVD the other night @ reference and we hit 105-109 db in the middle of the room. For me that's more than loud enough. (Cal. Outlaw 950 tone 76 db). At that level the twin Mesa/Boogie amps were running with only the first set of LED's lit and the second set barely flickering. The first LED comes on at 12.5 watts (-12 db); the second at 50 watts (-6 db) and all three at 200 watts. The Sampson S1000, running the twin Avalanche 15's, was just starting to lite it's third LED. So there was room to go if I wanted.

I apologise if this is "off the subject", but I was curious if you'd ever done a thorough run down on your equipment in this forum? I did a search and couldn't seem to find anything. If I've overlooked your posting, please forgive me.
Wayne The last couple of years the my system has gone through a lot of changes. So right now I would probably need a "running run down" What did you have in mind? If you go to the MeanGene web site there is a fair amout of informtion on my equipment. Just click on one of the pictures and then use the direction arrows (next). That will provide you with a description of each component. Start Here

[/b] You will notice when you get there that I am a KISS member. Keep it simple stupid. I don't necessarily go for the latest trends, but hold for the equipment that makes since and provides the best sound for the money/time. This is probably why I own a 950, M200, and most of the Outlaw cables they make. Although they really aren't Outlaws until they make a good tube amp, in my opinion.[/b]
