"watt"

[onlystyle]

i been out of the music segment for a few years now and notice a strange fact

there were in my time thirty years ago when stereo was very in very few stereo amps had more than 50 watt/channel and now we demanding

ourself that 5 x 75 watt / 2 x 100 watt shall be up to the task

i had a teac 2 x 50 watt andd my brother a kenwood 2 x 35 watt stereo amps and we could not cranck up the volume bottom more than

5 on a total of 10 figgers risking that the wall papers was falling down

i know people who had a NAD 2 x 25 watt and there had the same problem

all of us living in average sides rooms

i knew a discobar driven by a 2 x 50 watt makintosh

is there a particuly reason for this ?

thank you
