:heart: Listening to music how it's meant to be heard, full fidelity and all it's glory on my 500 WATT surround sound system, only 50 watt sub 🙁 And yes I'm listening to mostly flac and no t mp3s.
 
of course you're probably only pushing 100 watts or less to each of the front channels, which is what matters, and if your amp is solid state then the "watts" are greatly exaggeratted... but if you're enjoying it, then :beer: to you.
 
Well here is a problem that I hope I can figure out, my reciever is stating it's +40, no mention of the +DB so I'm actually wondering how many DB it is. Maybe it's 80=90DB!?

ah, that makes more sense. i thought you meant overall 40db, which would be pretty quiet.

it's probably original signal + 40db.

1 watt on good speakers can pump 100 dbl at 1 meter. watts is meaningless.

These are polk audio speakers, last I remember, they were about $400 speakers. The reciever is a $300 Sony reciever with 6 Analog inputs (for 5.1), I know it's not the best but I can tell you it has better sound than my dad's $3k bose sound system which makes the music sound very dull.

High sensitivity speakers aren't always good speakers. They can be (and I'm of the opinion that the "best" high sens speakers are more accurate than the "best" low/mid sens speakers), but it's not necessarily true.
