Lots of headroom there then, impossible to use it all... nice to never run out. I’d love to see that though!As mentioned, they are active speakers, and the 16kW is spread across 26 drive units, to be fair!
Depends on the neighbour. About 30 years ago I moved into my second flat, a first floor flat, the first weekend before I had even unpacked I was listening to a new CD by Blind melon on a ghetto blaster at a moderate volume when a very loud knock came to the door. It was person who lived below me complaining bitterly and threatening violence to both me and my wife, this continued, for nearly a year, threats of burning us alive, he threatened me a knife point down the street. He was well known as a bit of a psychopath or sociopath perhaps, he had broke both his ex -girlfriends legs, beat up his own father, took two car loads of police to hold him down until they got a straight jacket on him. The police and the council were absolutely hopeless and would do nothing until he actually did something! The firm I worked for was doing a job re-paving Royal Avenue in Belfast and as usual we had five days to do a job which should have taken about 2 weeks so we were starting early and finishing late. Around 5 am the van would pull up for me, the driver would normally wait a minute and I'd be down and off we would go, on the Thursday morning my neighbour came running out in his boxers with a hurling bat and threatened the driver. The driver looked at him, laughed and drove off, he told me not to worry, he'd have a word with his uncle and it would be sorted out. The next week my neighbour was sent to America. That's the last time I had a neighbour, I chosen to live in detached properties since.
About 2.5 m in front of my couch.Where do you measure the dB from?
registering nothing more than 68 ~ 72 dB. My hifi volume would be around 25% of capacity.
Can’t agree more. Listening to Jeff Beck at 10pm last night so loud I nearly reached for a pair of ear defenders. Lived in an apartment a few years ago where luckily the couple upstairs had vacated so I had the freedom to turn the wick up as I desired.A long time ago, I decided that detached living was essential if I was to enjoy music without worries. We must be approaching 100m from our nearest neighbours. I can’t imagine living in an apartment: for me, it would be a nightmare.

The OP, and most contributors to the thread, are clearly taking great care to consider their neighbours. So I’m not sure where your ‘lack of courtesy and manners’ came from?I have been a victim of an inconsiderate arsehole who thought it alright to play his music in every room in my house ,which is absolutely soul and health destroying. Why do you want to play your music loud enough for other people to hear it in their own property? Do not impose your taste in music and lack of courtesy and manners on other people.
Yes, absolutely and my sympathies to palacefan because that must be intolerable, and perhaps his own experiences coloured his response in that regard.I agree, Sue. The bit I ‘liked’ was how awful it can be when someone next door is not as considerate.

So you can hit 288db, awesome.
