Re: matching amp with speakers


A little more about peak power.


So when you run an AES power test you are using a "conditioned" pink noise signal.  I was curious as to how many peaks you might be subjecting a speaker to at a given average/RMS power level.  We ran some tests and found it all over the place ... from about 60 to 200 peaks per second.


The AES noise signal is very hard limited to 6 dB peaks.  But real world music could be considerably different.
