Just curious,
Has anyone here ever tried using a multimeter across your speaker terminals to get an idea of how much power your speakers are really using? I know this method is not exact and complicated by the fact of the varying impedance. But it should give you a rough idea.
My speakers are 4 ohm, around 89 db sensitivity. They are high passed at 80 hz with the lower frequencies going to the powered sub. I know this set up will lessen demand on the main amp.
Given all of the above, I'm still surprised at how little power is used. Usually not more than a watt or two. Any body else? It would be interesting to see what others are averaging with various configurations.
