the best answer to that question would be 87 decibels, bakit yun sa iyo, ilan db? Naguusap kami ni RU9 mga ten years ago nga yun mga boombox advertise 2500WATTS PMP which means peak music power but their real amplification is about 35-50 watts. It isn't just a matter of wattage but a matter of sensitivity of the speaker, hence the necessity for a good match. Research, research, research. Don't get advise from just the salesman (he migh just need to meet his quota) or your barkada (he may know as much as you do) get advise from heaven sent sites like wired state. Blessing ito, thanks to guys like Francis S., who put this together and the Internet, without which a lot of people would have gone down the long tedious and expensive route like I did. I have had three Jadis systems, Quad ESL 63's, Audio Reasearch, Dynacos even with v. Alstine upgrade, Spicas, Spendors, LS35As, Sci-Fi,Thats what I remember palang for now. The cables, which I noticed aren't being talked about much here, I consider a component in themselves. We should address that issue as well. Also, I think the various moderators should start holding EB's to discuss different topics. Just informal ones even, where the older guys can discuss their experiences with the hobby with anyone who wants to show up. As the learning level increases, we can start, we can start inviting guest speakers to discuss acoustics, tubes and transistors in-depth, even musicians. Problem is if we do that know, it may not be fully appreciated (i mean to infer nothing here) but we are starting up, so we start from there, why don't we? I am getting a number of inquiries. So why not set up in some venue an afternoon or evening and invite the Tuesday Club over to share their experiences in a panel discussion. I think the club will agree to that. Even just two or three of the members can sit and talk. There you have it. I am offering you our services for free. It's your move.
By the way, I was exchanging email with HP this evening to inqiure on matters pertaining to this audio club and how I could best help it and got sidetracked by him (in typical HP fashion- i think your government made a mistake...) haba na ng usapan oh well, bukas na lang ulit siya. Those who know of him know that he is a very frank person and minces no words, to friend or foe. Sige Ill wait for a reply from the mods. We can also discuss the various tweaks that can make magic come from your sound system.
