At this point I'm really not sure if I need them. 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 stereo 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 per channel. The Sampson S1000, running the twin Avalanche 15's, 500 watts per channel @ 4 ohm, was just starting to lite it's third LED. So there was room to go if I wanted. [/b]
